This year, the National Day Parade (NDP) returns to the National Stadium under the theme "Majulah Singapura, Go Beyond!". Based on recent NDP rehearsals and previews, smaller fireworks displays typically begin around 7.30pm, with the main fireworks finale taking place at approximately 8.10pm. Even if you didn't manage to get parade tickets, here are some of the best places to catch the fireworks for free. LOOKOUT DECK AT KALLANG BASINOne of the most popular viewing spots during recent NDP rehearsals, the lookout decks along Kallang Basin offer an open waterfront view directly towards the National Stadium. Tip: Arrive early, especially from late afternoon, as this has consistently been one of the busiest public viewing spots during rehearsals.
