Fireworks over Marina Bay at midnight ring in the new year, with a month of light projections and waterfront festivities leading up to it.

Where to stay for it

The best vantage points for the countdown fireworks are along The Promontory, Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza, the Esplanade Waterfront and the Helix Bridge — a stay anywhere in the Marina Bay or Downtown Core area puts you within walking distance of one of these without needing to fight New Year's Eve crowds and road closures to get there.

Good to know

This is the single busiest night of the year at Marina Bay — vantage points fill up hours before midnight, and the area around the bay gets very crowded from the evening onward. Public transport and roads near the waterfront are typically adjusted for crowd control on the night itself, so check the official countdown site closer to the date for the year's specific arrangements. Hotel rooms with a bay view for NYE are booked out well in advance, often months ahead — this is worth planning for early even by Marina Bay's usual standards.
