You do not need to travel downtown for the 2026 countdown.

On Dec. 31, 2025, there'll be seven heartland and four downtown countdown celebrations island-wide, according to ONE Countdown 2026.

These are the heartland sites:

  • Boon Lay (Blk 215 Boon Lay Place hardcourt)
  • Keat Hong (Keat Hong Community Club hardcourt)
  • Marsiling (Woodlands Secondary School)
  • Nee Soon (FutsalArena @ Yishun)
  • Punggol (One Punggol Celebration Square and The Plaza or Open Field in front of One Punggol)
  • Tampines (Our Tampines Hub, Town Square and Festive Area, Level 1)
  • Woodlands (Woodlands Waterfront)

Fireworks will be set off at all the heartland celebrations except at Woodlands Waterfront, where there'll be a drone show instead.

You can also look forward to carnivals, stage performances, food booths and more.
