Getting there

  • The organisers encourage public transport. They said train services would be extended on New Year's Eve last year, so check SMRT and SBS Transit for this year's hours.
  • Last year the organisers warned that some MRT exits in the Marina Bay area could be closed with visitors diverted, and that longer waits were expected at stations. Nearby stations include Bayfront, Marina Bay, Raffles Place, City Hall, Esplanade, Promenade and Downtown.
  • Last year the organisers said entry and exit at key areas around the Bay would be regulated, with areas closed once they reached capacity, and pointed visitors to the Crowd@MarinaBay map for live crowd updates.
  • The published road closures around the Bay for New Year 2026, including Bayfront Avenue and Esplanade Drive, ran in stages from 6 pm to 2 am; cycling was not allowed at key areas, and the open-space carpark beside Bayfront Event Space was closed to the public.

How Singapore celebrates

Singapore welcomes the New Year with a countdown fireworks display at Marina Bay. At New Year 2026 the show, ELYSIUM, was designed as a 360° experience around the Bay, with 30 minutes of fireworks in four chapters set within an hour-long musical score that ran from 11 pm to a finale at midnight.

The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown, presented by the Urban Redevelopment Authority, draws large crowds to the waterfront. At New Year 2026 the programme combined free live performances at the Esplanade, light-projection shows on The Fullerton Hotel and UOB Plaza 1, and a choreographed fireworks display.

Singapore's multicultural character — blending Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Western traditions — gives its New Year a uniquely cosmopolitan feel. Gardens by the Bay, the Esplanade, and Clarke Quay all host events within walking distance, and the tropical climate (around 25-30°C year-round) keeps the outdoor celebrations comfortable.
