Gardens by the Bay will host several events to mark Singapore’s 60th year of independence, with a focus on community, heritage and local culture.
SPARK, a free light installation by Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde, will run from July 31 to August 3 at the Supertree Grove Lawn. Featuring thousands of silent, floating biodegradable lights, the work reimagines fireworks and marks both SG60 and 60 years of Singapore – Netherlands diplomatic ties.
The annual Orchid Extravaganza returns to the Flower Dome from August 1 to 31. This year’s edition features orchid displays inspired by Singaporean symbols, including floral Supertrees and Peranakan motifs. Admission fees apply.
On August 3, The Meadow will host the Gardens by the Bay and MediaCorp National Day Concert. The free event features performances by local artists and family duos under the theme Ties that Bloom.
The Gardens will also be a satellite site for the National Day Parade on August 9. A live screening at The Meadow will be complemented by performances, snack booths, interactive games, and large-scale art displays referencing local food and culture. Entry is free.
