Break out the national flags, because Singapore’s biggest celebration is back. After two years of small-scale celebrations, our national birthday bash is returning to The Float @ Marina Bay.
Ticket applications open
Ballot for tickets to the National Day Parade from today onwards, until noon on June 20. That gives you a good two weeks to secure a slot for one of three shows: NDP Preview 1 (July 23), NDP Preview 2 (July 30), and NDP 2022 itself (August 9).
All Singaporean citizens and permanent residents are welcome to apply. You can apply for two, four or six tickets in a single ballot, with each ticket admitting just one spectator – and yes, children and infants also require a valid ticket for admission.
After that, twiddle your thumbs till June 27 when ticket confirmations will start coming in until July 1. Pick-ups will happen thereafter at Central Atrium, Marina Square. To get more information or apply for tickets, visit this website.
What to expect at NDP 2022
The theme this year is “Stronger Together, Mahjulah!” to celebrate our resilience during the pandemic while calling for unity in times ahead. This parade will bring back all the blockbuster hits – including the Red Lions, Parade and Ceremony, dazzling performances and multimedia displays, and of course, fireworks.
For those who missed out on the tickets (or simply prefer enjoying NDP from the comfort of home), don’t fret. There will be activities happening at five heartland locations, comprising family-centric activities, exhibitions and performances on August 6 and 7.
The Red Lions will also do freefalls over two heartland sites on the same weekend, and you can catch the State Flag and fighter jets flying past in residential areas. NDP 2022 will also be broadcast over television and internet platforms as usual, with simultaneous fireworks right in the heartlands.
