Singapore's National Day

The Singapore National Day is a significant event that is celebrated in Singapore as it marks the day of independence, which is on the 9th of August 1965. Since 1966, every year without fail, on the 9th of August, the National Day Parade will be held at either the Singapore Indoor Stadium, the Padang or on the floating platform at the Marina Bay.

It is the day where mostly all Singaporeans will wear red and white, which symbolizes the Singapore flag.
Singaporeans will gather at the place where the National Day Parade is held or at home to watch the live telecast of the National Day Parade. Singaporeans who are not in Singapore can also watch online where the National Day Parade will be recorded. It is a day where most residents will gather together to sing the National Day songs and the National Anthem.





















The National Day Parade is an annual event that is held on the 9th of August every year. It is a 2 hour long parade which features choirs, school bands, and marching groups from the various schools’ uniform groups, Singapore military Armed forces, and other organisations. Skydiving, dance performances by the students from various schools and other light-hearted performances are also being showcased during the Singapore’s National Day Parade. The parade ends with the spectacular fireworks display and patriotic National Day songs and also the Singapore’s National Anthem. The popular National Day Songs include Stand Up for Singapore, Where I Belong, Count on Me Singapore, One United People, This is Home and many more.
