Fireworks are always a highlight of each year’s National Day Parade. This is no different for the National Day Parade 2024. Get the best vantage point from prime spots, do go early to get the best seats as these spots can get filled pretty quickly.
In fact, there are more opportunities for the public to enjoy a NDP fireworks 2024 in the heartlands too. Find out where you can enjoy the NDP fireworks display this year.
National Day Parade Fireworks 2024
For the National Day Parade 2024, you can of course expect fireworks at The Padang. This display caps off an evening of celebrations and is always one that draws out “oohs” and “aahs” from the crowd at the parade.
Marina Bay Sands Observation Deck
The top floor of Marina Bay Sands hotel is 57 storeys up in the air with commanding vistas over the city. Hotel guests can access the observation deck for free, while visitors need to purchase tickets to enter from Tower 3. From the northern side of the SkyPark Observation Deck, you can view the waters of the Marina Bay Reservoir along with prominent landmarks such as Merlion Park, Esplanade, National Gallery Singapore, Victoria Concert Hall and the Singapore River. The backdrop to these landmarks is the urban sprawl of the city.

Marina Barrage
This is one obvious choice particularly for picnicking families and folks who love to fly their kites. Admire the skyline with an unblocked view (except perhaps other people’s heads) of the fireworks in the distance.
The Lawn at Marina Bay Financial Centre
Located across the Promontory at Marina Bay, the lawn is a comfortable spot for the fireworks. However, it is also a very popular spot. Do note that there are ticketed celebrations at the Promontory. Audiences around the Marina Bay area can expect to see the longest distance Presidential Gun Salute sail-past as the Mobility 3rd Generation raft arrives in the Marina Bay area for the Presidential Gun Salute.
Audiences will also be able to see the ‘Salute to the Nation’ bomb burst, the State Flag Flypast as the CH-47SD/F carrying the State Flag, and escorted by two AH-64D Apache Attack Helicopters, head towards the Padang, the High-Speed chase, and the Red Lions as they make their descent into the Padang.
Faber Peak
Atop Mount Faber is a less crowded option to view the fireworks. While it is further away from the main area with celebrations, it is a quieter spot to enjoy the fireworks that mark the finale of the National Day Parade.
High Street Centre Carpark
This non-descript building is just across the road from the colourful Ministry of Communications and Information building. It might be an odd choice to view fireworks but getting to the fifth storey of the carpark is where the magic happens. You’ve even got the Parliament House and the National Gallery of Singapore as part of the view.
Esplanade Roof Terrace
Head to the top of the Esplanade where the roof terrace is. Here, you can get a panoramic view of Marina Bay. However it is a known spot for seasoned photographers, so arriving early is important.
Merlion Park, Esplanade Bridge, Jubilee Bridge
These hot spots are definitely the top spots that many flock to. Head early to catch the parade since these are nearly front row seats to the action taking place in the air and the waters. You will also be enjoying fantastic views of the fireworks.
Helix Bridge & Benjamin Sheares Bridge
Although NDP 2024 is not held at The Float, these bridges are still great for fireworks, the aircrafts, State Flag Flypast and Presidential Gun Salute sail-past.
