Singapore's Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and key event organisers have decided to engage the citizen in a stellar line-up of activities called as Celebrate in the City with a myriad of year-end activities around Marina Bay till December 31.
Eight marquee events will transform the district into a spectacular celebration venue. Marina Bay will be pulsating with activities as Celebrate in the City, an exciting line-up of events and
experiences, brings the public together to usher in 2019.
The URA and other partners are bringing together all the major events happening in Marina Bay under the umbrella of Celebrate in the City to highlight the wide variety of offerings available to the public during the year-end holiday season.
These will include performances by local and international artists, games, carnival rides and outdoor activities. Revellers can look forward to eight marquee events catering to all ages and interests, culminating in the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown celebration on 31 December 2018.
Thrill-seekers will not want to miss The Great Moscow Circus and Prudential Marina
Bay Carnival at the Bayfront Event Space. Returning to Singapore for the first time in
over 10 years, The Great Moscow Circus promises high-octane and fun-filled
entertainment for those looking for live heart-pounding action. The popular Prudential
Marina Bay Carnival, Singapore's biggest outdoor carnival that debuted at Marina Bay
last year, will return this year with 50 different thrilling rides and exciting games.
Those looking for light-hearted family fun during this festive season can look forward
to the "Poinsettia Wishes Featuring Disney Tsum Tsum" floral display at Gardens
by the Bay. Fans of the adorable stackable characters will have fun spotting Mickey
Mouse and his Tsum Tsum pals as they bring a touch of magic to the year-end festive
floral display in the Flower Dome.
Christmas Wonderland, Singapore's biggest yuletide fair, will be back for its fifth
edition. Embark on a magical journey through a mirror maze, be spellbound by a
world-class illusionist, skate under the stars, experience 'snow' in the tropics and get
into the festive spirit with fun carnival games and seasonal treats.
Visitors looking to quench their thirst for learning can head to ArtScience Museum's
permanent exhibition to view a futuristic world of immersive and interactive artworks with a festive twist.
As part of the Christmas at ArtScience Museum festivities, enjoy a fun-filled day and welcome
Santa Claus in a special festive digital universe installation, Sketch Christmas, and
watch him deliver presents across Singapore.
Over at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, music lovers can gather for a time of
collaboration, reflection and revelry at Come Together. They can also enjoy three
days of alluring vocal performances including a cappella, jazz, doo-wop and xinyao at
Voices – A Festival of Song 2018.
On New Year's Eve, Celebrate in the City will conclude on a high note with the Marina
Bay Singapore Countdown celebration. Continuing with the theme "Bay of Hopes
and Dreams", the celebration invites everyone to ring in the hopes, dreams and
aspirations for the new year with activities including light projections, a concert, food
truck festival, and bazaar.
