Families For Life | Light up the Night with Your Loved One on National Day
A flare shoots up before showering in a glorious burst. You squeeze your intertwining fingers and turn to your loved one. Sure to leave you awe-struck, fireworks are all the action of the National Day Parade celebrations. There is something magical about waiting for the special moment. The moment when everything else does not matter.
Here are the best spots to celebrate love under a grand display of light and colours.
1. Gardens by the Bay
Head to the Bay East Garden at Gardens by the Bay, via Marina Barrage for an enchanting night. Your evening will run out of superlatives before you can say "spectacular".
How to get there: Bayfront Station (DT16/CE1)
2. Marina Bay Sands
From Sands Skypark observation deck, watching the sparks fly with the love of your life will simply take your breath away. The view is going to be epic. Or lounge by the world's highest infinity pool as fireworks burst. Either way, it will be a night you will never forget.
