Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2021?

Proudly presented by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), Marina Bay Singapore Countdown – Singapore’s iconic New Year’s Eve celebration – allows everyone to enjoy the unique cityscape and vibrant atmosphere as we usher in the New Year.

This year, MBSC 2021 takes on a different format to bring people together to reflect on 2020 and to celebrate our hopes and aspirations for the coming year.

MBSC 2021 will feature two main highlights: Shine a Light, a light display, as well as Share the Moment, a showcase of co-created art, transformed by projection mapping onto iconic facades in Marina Bay – The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, ArtScience Museum and the Merlion.

Will there be fireworks happening this year at the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2021?

As safety remains a priority in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no fireworks display at Marina Bay on 31 December 2020 to minimise crowds from gathering in the precinct. Instead, fireworks will be set off from different heartland locations across Singapore, bringing the Countdown experience closer to Singaporeans at home. Stay tuned for further details.

Will there be any programmes for Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2021?
