Celebrate the Year of the Snake at Gardens by the Bay’s Dahlia Dreams. This stunning floral display features a 7-meter-tall dragon sculpture made entirely of dahlias in vibrant colors. Definitely a breathtaking must-see!

  • Experience the Magic of River Hongbao

Happening at Gardens by the Bay from January 29 to February 5, River Hongbao is Singapore’s largest CNY celebration. Check out over 20 illuminated lantern displays, a massive God of Fortune statue, nightly cultural performances, and a delicious street food bazaar.

  • Catch the Chingay Parade 

Join the lively Chingay Parade at the F1 Pit Building, featuring 4,000 performers and colorful floats celebrating Singapore’s 60th birthday. Keep an eye out for the troupe of 60 lion dancers and dazzling fireworks for the perfect festive ending (hopefully, like it did last year)!

  • Pray for a Bountiful Year Ahead

Start the year with good vibes by visiting temples like the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple or Im Thong Hood Cho Temple. Offer prayers, light incense, and seek blessings for health, wealth, and happiness in 2025.

  • Check Out Pop Mart Installations at Jewel Changi

This is indeed a lucky festive season for Pop Mart fans. Chinese New Year celebration gets cuter at Jewel Changi with Pop Mart installations.
