Light Up Your Night This National Day 2026
what is the national day parade?
The National Day Parade (NDP) is an annual parade held in Singapore to commemorate its independence. Held annually on 9 August, the pre-parade segment includes mass-displays, choir performances, school band displays, sky-diving displays, and other light-hearted performances.
This is followed by a traditional segment of the National Day Parade. Participants of the parade include members of the Singapore Armed Forces, Singapore Police Force, Singapore Civil Defence Force, representatives of the People's Action Party, different labour unions (including members of the National Trades Union Congress) and Ministries as well as students in uniformed groups (such as the National Cadet Corps (Singapore), National Police Cadet Corps, National Civil Defence Cadet Corps, the Singapore Red Cross, the Boys' Brigade in Singapore and Girls' Brigade Singapore, Singapore Scout Association, Girl Guides Singapore and St John Singapore) and representatives of various Singapore business entities and public and private organizations.
The show segment features vibrant performances by students, community groups, and professional artists, combining music, dance, and multimedia effects to highlight Singapore's multicultural identity and achievements. The celebration culminates in a spectacular fireworks display and the singing of national songs, fostering a strong sense of unity and national pride among Singaporeans.
when can I catch it?
NDP 2026 consists of 6 rehearsal days on every Saturday that will be held at the Singapore National Stadium this year. Starting from 27 June to 1 August, followed by the actual NDP on Sunday 9 August, the fireworks display usually happens at the last segment of the event, at around 7:30pm onwards, where the National Anthem will play immediately after.
