National Day Parade 2023: 8 spots to catch the fireworks display in Singapore

If you don’t mind the crowds, head to Merlion park to catch the firework display. As it’s located close to the Padang, you’re sure to get unobstructed views of the display. Crowds flock to the area every year and this year won’t be any different. Remember to head down early to get a good spot.

There is no better spot to catch a Birdseye view of the fireworks display than at the Singapore Flyer. Take a spin on the Ferris wheel and find yourself 150 metres in the sky with uninterrupted views of the fireworks. Make it extra special by opting for the Flyer’s sky dining experience and toast to Singapore’s 58th birthday while in the air.

If you’re hoping to catch the display at Marina Barrage, it’s best to head down early, as it’s one of the most popular locations for good reason. Bring a picnic mat and snacks, and snag a good spot to watch the fireworks light up the Singapore sky.

If you’re not able to get a spot at Marina Barrage, head to The Lawn @ Marina Bay instead. Located in the heart of the central business district (CBD), this grass patch offers unparalleled views of the fireworks display.

Skip Gardens by the Bay and head to Bay East Garden to catch the fireworks. Located opposite the Supertree Grove, the garden stretches along the waterfront for two kilometres and offers sweeping views of the Marina Bay skyline.

What better way to celebrate Singapore’s birthday than with a decadent meal at this two-Michelin-starred restaurant? Located on the 70th floor of Swissotel The Stamford, you’re sure to get an unobstructed view of the magnificent light show. What’s more, get to enjoy the fireworks while indulging in chef Westaway’s decadent creations. 

This year, firework displays can be seen at five heartland locations: Our Tampines Hub, Bedok Stadium, Jurong West Stadium, Toa Payoh Stadium and Woodlands Stadium. These firework displays will occur at the same time as the display at the Padang. As the fireworks viewing is on a first-come-first-served basis, remember to get there early to avoid the crown. On top of firework displays, the State Flag and fighter jets will also be flying through the heartlands on August 9.
