There’s no other large-scale event, apart from National Day Parade, that truly celebrates Singapore’s unique multicultural landscape with as much liveliness and grandeur as the Chingay Parade.  ?

While it might be held during the Chinese New Year period, the vibrant displays of spectacular floats, cultural dances and stilt walkers attracts people and performances across Singapore, regardless of race or religion. This multi-sensory show that we grew up with has reached its 50th year! ??
