Marina Bay Conta alla rovescia (Capodanno) 2025-2026, Singapore
Per gli ultimi 10 secondi la grande folla tiene il suo respiro in attesa di tremendo display di fuoco di Capodanno
Date: 31 dicembre–1 gennaio
Marina Bay organizza la più grande celebrazione di Capodanno a Singapore. La folla di spettatori è sopraffatta dall'eccitazione e dall'anticipazione con l'inizio del conto alla rovescia per gli ultimi dieci secondi prima del Capodanno. Nei prossimi 10 minuti, il cielo sulla Marina Bay è illuminato da splendidi fuochi d'artificio che quasi trasformano la mezzanotte in mezzogiorno. Nel frattempo, spettatori affascinati filmano lo spettacolo splendido con i loro telefoni, tablet e telecamere.
Il conto alla rovescia di Marina Bay si svolge ogni anno dal 2005, attirando oltre 300.000 visitatori pronti a partecipare a un'enorme festa all'aperto. La gente si raduna intorno alla baia, allo stadio galleggiante, sulla passeggiata dell'Esplanade, sul ponte dell'Esplanade, sul parco Merlion, sul ponte Benjamin Sheares e sul Padang al Municipio.
I ristoranti Marina Bay offrono glamour feste di conto alla rovescia per chi vuole suonare nel Capodanno con stile. Uno dei posti migliori per vedere i fuochi d'artificio contro lo skyline di Singapore è SkyPark Observation Deck, situato sul 57 ° negozio. Musica dal vivo, champagne e favori di festa contribuiranno alla straordinaria vigilia di Capodanno.
Visitors can explore up to 9 zones within the Bayfront Event Space beside Marina Bay Sands, each offering a unique visual experience. The show is designed to be interactive, allowing guests to touch and pose with most exhibits. With a typical visit lasting up to 90 minutes, there's plenty to see and do.
Tickets start from 25$ for adults and 15$ for children, and booking can be made through Pelago, an official ticketing partner. The event also adapts to seasonal events so that visitors might experience different installations over its 6-month run.
The Marina Bay Countdown also offers several events to enjoy before midnight strikes. Share the Moment, a light projection show, will run from December 26 to December 31. Every 15 minutes, light projections will illuminate iconic buildings such as the Merlion, The Fullerton Hotel, and the ArtScience Museum. The projections showcase artwork by local students inspired by stories of volunteerism and philanthropy, highlighting the spirit of community in Singapore.
Other highlights include the Waterfront Promenade, where attendees can explore various art installations and light projections set up along the Marina Bay waterfront. This promenade offers an engaging space for families and groups to enjoy the festive atmosphere and capture photos against dazzling backdrops.
The main countdown activities typically begin in the evening, with light shows and installations starting around 8 pm and culminating in the midnight fireworks.
Admission to Marina Bay’s public spaces, including the promenade and nearby viewing spots, is free. However, some areas, such as the SkyPark Observation Deck, require tickets. Prices vary depending on the venue and type of event, with some restaurants and rooftop venues offering exclusive countdown packages that include dining, live music, and an excellent view of the fireworks. Visitors are advised to book these ticketed events in advance, as demand is typically high.
Marina Bay is accessible by Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system, and stations near the event include Marina Bay, Bayfront, and City Hall. Due to road closures around the Marina Bay area, public transportation is recommended, and extended MRT hours make it easier to navigate the high traffic. For those considering other options, local buses and taxis also service the area, but expect delays due to crowding and event closures.
The Marina Bay Countdown has been held annually since 2005, growing in scale and reputation over the years. Initially a small fireworks show, it has since expanded to incorporate cultural, artistic, and community-centered elements, drawing an estimated 300,000 visitors each year. According to the organizers, the event serves not only as a New Year’s celebration but also as a platform for promoting social causes and showcasing local talent, from artists to performers.
Marina Bay’s central location makes it convenient for visitors to access hotels, restaurants, and other amenities nearby. The event also offers a chance to explore attractions like Gardens by the Bay, the Marina Bay Sands complex, and nearby dining options for a memorable New Year’s Eve experience.
