Singapore’s 60th National Day on 9 August 2025 promises to be an unforgettable celebration of heritage, progress, and unity. As the nation marks this momentous milestone, locals and visitors alike can expect a spectacular showcase of fireworks, parades, fly-pasts, and exciting performances lighting up the Marina Bay skyline.
This year’s National Day holds added significance as Singapore commemorates 60 years of independence — a national milestone affectionately referred to as SG60.
Anticipated highlights include:
The grand return of the National Day Parade (NDP) to The Padang, anchoring the celebration in the Civic District’s historic heart.
A dramatic parachute display by the Red Lions, thrilling audiences with their signature free-fall landing.
A debut maritime jump by elite naval divers from the Republic of Singapore Navy, offering a first-of-its-kind visual spectacle.
Aerial flypasts, mass displays, and multimedia performances showcasing the “Majulah Moments” theme — honouring stories of courage, resilience, and aspiration from all walks of life.
Satellite celebrations involving over 43,000 participants across the island, bringing the spirit of National Day to the heartlands.
Dazzling fireworks over Marina Bay, captivating audiences from every vantage point.
Special exhibitions, cultural showcases, and limited-edition SG60 merchandise.
Pop-up dining events, local culinary experiences, and community-led initiatives highlighting Singapore’s journey.
Imagine this: watching fireworks dance across the skyline from your own private balcony, enjoying room service with panoramic views of Marina Bay, and hearing the roar of the crowd from the NDP — all without navigating through throngs of people or road closures.
That’s exactly what awaits you when you stay at Fairmont Singapore or Swissôtel The Stamford, both of which offer front-row access to the biggest celebration of the year.
