In the blink of an eye, 2021 is about to come to an end.
It feels like it was just a couple of weeks ago when 2021 just started, and we were all busy making new year resolutions in the hope of fulfilling them through the year. But ready or not, in just a couple of days, we will be celebrating the end of yet, another year while ushering in a new one.
If you are looking to welcome 2022 and bid adieu to 2021 with a loud bang (but on a budget), here’s four countdown options to consider.
Marina Bay Countdown
Singapore's New Year celebrations are largely defined by the extravagant spectacles that are Marina Bay's yearly countdowns, as they have been for so many years. Sadly, this year's revelry will not be including commemorative fireworks to mark the end of a turbulent year. Do not fret however, for the organizers have an exciting line-up of light installations and exhibitions to emulate its event's expected glamor and magnificence.
From 1 December 2021 to 31 December 2021, the entire Marina Boulevard will glow with a kaleidoscope of playful colours. Boasting an illuminated treetop canopy, lighted inflatable bird structures and starry installations, the walk path is brimming with instagramable opportunities.
The best way however, to encapsulate the New Year's spirit would be its Share the Moment lightshow. This visually enthralling series of light projections portray our community's heartwarming journey towards unity and harmony on the facades of the Fullerton hotel, ArtScience museum and the Merlion.
