What to do and see in Downtown Core/Downtown Singapore, Singapore: The Best Events
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

The Formula One Singapore Grand Prix was the inaugural F1 night race back in 2008, and has since been an annual event car enthusiasts from all over the world look forward to watching in the month of September in Singapore. Other than watching the car racers flaunt their latest technology on the tracks, another highlight of the night race is the illuminated Singapore skyline, which photography fanatics will not want to miss.

If you are in Singapore during the Chinese New Year period, the Chingay Parade is an annual event you must not miss. Chingay means 'the art of costume and masquerade' in the Hokkien dialect and the parade is an annual celebration, where different groups and races come together to put on a colorful display. Expect to witness colorful floating platforms and street performers in fanciful costumes, from the largest street performance and float parade in Asia.

Having been to Singapore 3 times and having covered almost all the things to do over about 10 days, in anticipation of our upcoming travels via Singapore I looked to see what was doing for the night before departure.. Well, guess what, for the first time in my life a major event traditional to a particular city was happening and this time, for once, I was going to be there. The Chingay parade. JAN 31 and feb 01 2020 is a Mardi Gras, or Rio de Janiero style carnival parade happening right down near the hottest tourist spot in the city. Beneath the Singapore Flyer massive Ferris wheel, overlooking Merlin Park, the float, the science Center, and Gardens on the bay etc, is a 1000 person at least , performer parade. Preceded by a Carnival during the afternoon, and followed by Chinese New Years festivities. Because I was arranging for a major M&G aboard a departing vessel in the morning from the Marina Bay Pier, I had about 150 names available to me from within a cruise forum , so I arranged for special seating for many of us and this became truly a party night. If you are going to Singapore next year in Jan Feb 2021, check out the Chingay website, and buy your tickets on line Great evening

Singapore’s largest countdown event - the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown - is an annual celebration that brings together people from all walks of life for a night of revelry and reflection on New Year’s Eve. A unique tradition of the countdown is a gigantic installation comprising 20,000 wishing spheres, containing over 500,000 wishes penned by the community, set afloat in the water. The wishing spheres represent the collective hopes and dreams of the nation, and are set aglow with coloured lights on New Year’s Eve to form a dynamic piece of visual art. Festivities around the Bay, which include live outdoor musical performances, carnivals and waterfront bazaars, begin in the early evening and culminate in a spectacular firework display that lights up the city skyline at midnight.
