Running nightly (8pm to 10.30pm) from December 26 to 31, this year’s theme Thriving Beyond Limits showcases the talents of artists with disabilities from ART: DIS. It features work that celebrates perseverance, inclusiveness, and Singapore’s collective spirit. Over at UOB Plaza 1, the Sharing Joy showcase will add another dazzling dimension to the skyline with artworks from ASEAN artists celebrating generosity and optimism for the future.
One of the main highlights is a magnificent 360-degree fireworks musical experience on December 31. Named ELYSIUM, the 1 hour-long fireworks show, will unfold across four segments from 11pm on New Year’s Eve. Certainly, it’s a must-see event to ring in 2026.
Meanwhile, Togetherland by World Christmas Market adds to the festive buzz and returns from December 11 to January 4, 2026. This year, it will be twice as big located at Bayfront Event Space.
