The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2026, presented by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), will wrap up SG60 with a spectacular month-long celebration featuring an exciting array of festivities. Join us at Marina Bay as we come together to welcome 2026. 


1 to 31 December 2025

In December, Esplanade continues to give local artistes a platform to showcase their talents in Come Together, the popular series of free performances at the Esplanade Concourse and at the DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre at Esplanade.

Music lovers can expect to see crowd favourites and up-and-coming artistes like Amni Musfirah, Heema Izzati and Hey Pelican!


11 December 2025 to 4 January 2026

Visitors can look forward to an array of fun and food at Togetherland by World Christmas Market. Designed around the theme of A Christmas Constellation, the event will run at its new home, the Bayfront Event Space, which spans 20,000 square metres, and is double the size of its previous venue at The Promontory.

The festival promises to be a centrepiece of the year-end celebrations at the Bay, featuring immersive attractions designed to bring communities together through creativity and sustainability.


26 to 31 December 2025

A highlight of the festivities is the Brightening Lives light projection show, an annual celebration of inclusiveness and community via exceptional artworks illuminating the façade of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore.

The projections will feature artworks by artists with disabilities from ART:DIS, depicting their vision of a thriving Singapore. Also adorning the skyline this year is a light projection showcase set against UOB Plaza 1, which will feature highlights from the best picks from UOB’s Painting of the Year ASEAN Collection.


The celebrations will culminate in a dazzling display of fireworks that will light up the Marina Bay night sky to usher in 2026.

Designed as a 360° experience around Marina Bay, this year’s fireworks display, titled ELYSIUM, is part of a specially curated hour-long musical score, where the spectacle unfolds as a cinematic fireworks musical across four segments, with a total fireworks display duration of 30 minutes.

Starting at 11pm on New Year’s Eve, ELYSIUM will transform the skyline into a living canvas of colour, rhythm and wonder.
