Marina Bay Singapore Countdown to feature fireworks, film, performances
The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown, which is back for the ninth year, will usher in the new year with an eight-minute fireworks display.
A first for the countdown will be a 40-second LED display on the facade of the Ocean Financial Centre.
The music accompanying the fireworks this year will be familiar to many. It is the work of local music director Iskandar Ismail. The piece was first heard during the 2011 countdown.
Joint organisers of the event Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay and the Urban Redevelopment Authority announced this at a media briefing on Friday.
The countdown party will also feature free performances and a specially-commissioned short film by a local director.
The countdown theme this year is “Beautiful Life”, and organisers said the music, fireworks, the film and performances will reflect this.
There will also be a new fringe activity - the Marina Waterfront Bazaar - where revellers can shop for fashion accessories, toys and souvenirs while waiting for the countdown to start.
