The little country that could
The Singapore story is well known — how it achieved independence on 9 th August 1965 amid severe doubt it could survive at all with its tiny size and the lack of natural resources .

A parade that dazzles
Since independence, Singapore has celebrated her history, triumph and successes with the National Day Parade, with the first-ever parade held in 1966 at The Padang .

Audience members sit back to enjoy a stunning spectacle of military parades, multicultural tuy nhiên and dance performances and aerial high jinks capped by a breathtaking firework extravaganza, set against the stunning cityscape framed by the Marina Waterfront .
If you’re in the vicinity on a Saturday, be sure to stick around for the chance to witness the fireworks. While timings tend to vary, you’ll be able to witness this spectacular display from around 8 pm .
While National Day officially falls on the 9th of August, rehearsals for the parade begin three to four months in advance, with preview shows on the two weekends leading to the celebration.
2022 ‘ s National Day theme — titled ‘ The Story of Us ‘ — seeks to tell a tale of hope, transformation and survival, in homage to Singaporeans who have weathered the storm of COVID-19 .
Directed by lauded actor and director Adrian Pang, the show will comprise more than 2,000 performers, and pay tribute to families, healthcare frontliners and various community groups .
As part of this year’s celebration, the Singapore Armed Forces will also stage a hostage rescue demonstration, while the navy’s elite divers will demonstrate their mettle with an amphibious operation.
