NDP 2025 will take place at both Padang & Marina Bay area

The National Day Parade will take place at both The Padang and the Marina Bay area this year.

This year's theme is "Majulah Singapura".

The celebrations will be extending from the Padang to the Marina Bay area "in the lead-up to" and on Aug. 9 itself.

There will be heartland celebrations the next day at five heartland sites, with locations to be revealed later.

Expanded

The NDP show will take place over an "expanded canvas", with the live show at the Padang expanded to the Marina Bay for the first time.

To commemorate SG60, a special aerial tribute by the Republic of Singapore Air Force will conclude the Parade and Ceremony segment. Prior to the main parade, the Uncasing of Colours ceremony will take place at Marina Square.

The Show at the Bay, which includes water floats, performances on a new mobile floating stage and the lighting up of the city skyline through fireworks and light projections, will be synchronised with the live show at the Padang.

The show will also feature the first "jump of unity", where the Red Lions will be landing in Padang and the Republic of Singapore Navy’s naval divers will appear at Marina Bay.

There will also be a carnival held across the Bay at various sites with live NDP screenings on LED screens and audio systems, complemented by interactive booths and activities.

The celebrations will be extended to five additional locations around the Bay in the lead-up to and on Aug. 9:

• The Promontory
• Bayfront Event Space
• The Meadow at Gardens by the Bay
• Marina Barrage
• Singapore Sports Hub.

More details on the Bay Celebrations will be released closer to the date.

The mobile column will also be returning to the Padang for the first time since 2019.

Singaporeans and Permanent Residents can redeem one complimentary National Flag per household via the NDP Shop on Shopee.

Flags can be collected at no cost from over 3,000 Shopee Collection Points and can be put on display from July to September.

The Elly Store and Love Bonito will offer specially designed or curated red and white National Day apparel. Uniqlo will also join in support of this initiative.

The NDP 2025 theme song, “Here We Are”, is co-written by Charlie Lim and Chok Kerong, and produced by Dr Sydney Tan. It is performed by Charlie Lim, Kit Chan, and The Island Voices.
