Singapore's iconic New Year's Eve celebration. Features a spectacular fireworks display over the bay, light projections, and live performances.
The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown is Singapore's main New Year's Eve celebration: fireworks over the bay at midnight, light projections and performances, with the city skyline as the backdrop.
Get there early. Police cap the numbers at Merlion Park, The Promontory, Esplanade Park and the Marina Bay Sands promenade, and close each area once it's full.
Check Crowd@MarinaBay on the night. Last year it showed live crowd levels and area closures from 7pm.
Avoid the busiest stations. City Hall, Raffles Place and Bayfront were expected to be very crowded; Esplanade, Promenade, Downtown and Marina Bay were suggested instead.
Don't plan to drive. Roads around the bay close, parking is limited, and cars parked inside the closure zone may not be able to leave.
Viewing areas close once they reach capacity. The later you arrive, the fewer options you have.
Try Esplanade, Promenade, Downtown or Marina Bay instead of City Hall, Raffles Place and Bayfront.
December is one of Singapore's wettest months. Umbrellas are awkward in a dense crowd.
Every MRT line has a stop near Marina Bay, and train services were extended on New Year's Eve last year. Stations around the bay can be very crowded: some exits may close, and trains may skip Bayfront if it gets too busy. The organisers encourage public transport because roads and lanes around the bay are closed for the event.
~700 m • ~10 min walk
~800 m • ~10 min walk
~1 km • ~15 min walk
~20 km • ~25 min by taxi
To watch from your room, stay on the bay and book a bay-facing room type. Raffles Place and City Hall put you a short walk from the viewing areas; Boat Quay and Clarke Quay are cheaper and still walkable.

Marina Bay Sands, Mandarin Oriental, The Ritz-Carlton Millenia, Conrad, PARKROYAL COLLECTION and Pan Pacific. The best chance of a fireworks view from your room, at the highest prices.

Common questions about Marina Bay Singapore Countdown
On New Year's Eve, 31 December 2026, around Marina Bay, with fireworks at midnight. The organisers usually publish the programme, event map and road closures in December.
Hotels right on the bay give the best chance: Marina Bay Sands, The Fullerton Bay Hotel, The Fullerton Hotel, Mandarin Oriental, The Ritz-Carlton Millenia and Fairmont all have room types facing Marina Bay. Only bay-facing rooms get the view, so book that room type and confirm it with the hotel. The Fullerton Bay Hotel's rooftop bar, Lantern, also hosts New Year's Eve parties.
The main free viewing areas are Merlion Park and One Fullerton, The Promontory, Esplanade Park and Waterfront Promenade, and the Marina Bay Sands Waterfront Promenade. Police limit the numbers in each and close them when they're full, so arrive early and check Crowd@MarinaBay on the night.
Last year City Hall, Raffles Place and Bayfront were expected to be very crowded, and trains could skip Bayfront if it got too busy. Esplanade, Promenade, Downtown and Marina Bay were suggested as alternatives. Train services were extended on New Year's Eve.
Yes. Roads and lanes around the bay close to traffic, and the open-air car park on Bayfront Avenue closed last year. Cars parked in buildings inside the closure zone may not be able to leave, so take the MRT and check in to your hotel before the evening.
Yes. Last year ONE Countdown also held celebrations at The Kallang, Sentosa, Clarke Quay and heartland locations around the island. If you'd rather avoid the biggest crowds, those can be easier to reach.
As early as you can, especially for bay-view rooms. Many hotels sell New Year's Eve packages or add minimum stays, and the rooms facing the bay sell out first. Booking a refundable rate lets you lock in a room and still change plans.
