National Day Parade 2025 (NDP 2025) is set to transform Marina Bay into a vibrant celebration zone as Singapore marks its 60th year of independence. Scheduled for 2 and 9 August 2025, the Bay Celebrations will include interactive experiences, carnival festivities, and live NDP screenings, offering Singaporeans more opportunities to connect and celebrate together.
Visitors can explore the Bay Discovery Trail, which links three thematic zones highlighting Singapore’s multiculturalism, inclusivity, and heritage. The first 5,000 participants completing the trail each day will receive an NDP Pack. Performances by local talents, such as 11-year-old violinist Anastasha Suchin and the Singapore Institute of Technology’s Vocalist Insight, will enhance the festivities. Additionally, a diverse food market and the nostalgic Uncle Ringo carnival will provide family-friendly entertainment.
As night falls, the Bay will become a grand amphitheatre with live NDP screenings at Merlion Park, Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza, and the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre. For the first time, synchronised audio systems and Bay Emcees will create an immersive experience. Highlights include the State Flag Flypast and the inaugural Jump of Unity by the Republic of Singapore Navy’s naval divers. The spectacle will be complemented by building light projections, fireworks, and performances on a new floating stage.
The celebrations will extend to five partner-led sites, including The Promontory and Gardens by the Bay, each offering unique experiences. The event will culminate in a nationwide Majulah Moment, uniting Singaporeans in reciting the pledge and singing the National Anthem.
With an expected attendance of 200,000 visitors, the NDP 2025 Executive Committee, alongside the Singapore Police Force, will implement crowd management and security measures. Volunteers from Heartware Network and motivators from the Singapore University of Social Sciences will ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
