NDP 2025 GO Tickets Countdown: Why Is It a Must-See?
On 9 August 2025, Singapore turns 60! This year’s National Day Parade (NDP 2025) promises to be unlike any before — with double main venues at Padang and Marina Bay, and audience capacity surging from 27,000 to a whopping 230,000.
Expect skydiving, fireworks, water shows, and military parades all in one epic celebration. So… are you applying for tickets yet?
✨ Why This Year’s NDP Is a Must-See
From aerial parachutes to amphibious displays, this will be a National Day spectacle like no other. Padang retains the classic pomp — flag fly-pasts, presidential salutes, and a full comeback of the long-lost SAF mobile column. Meanwhile, over at Marina Bay, skydivers and naval frogmen will pull off a cross-location "Jump of Unity", backed by air, land, and sea performances in one breathtaking sync.
NDP 2025 Guide - SG60 Highlights, Theme Song & Activities
As night falls, expect a multi-sensory party: fireworks over water, dazzling light projections, a floating stage, and carnival zones at five key sites, including Marina Barrage and Gardens by the Bay. Two vibes, one celebration — tradition meets spectacle.
And let’s not forget the feels. This year’s theme song "Here We Are", performed by Kit Chan, Charlie Lim and The Island Voices, is already tugging at heartstrings across the island. The logo? A clever “60 → GO” with five shooting stars, symbolizing Singapore’s core ideals and unstoppable spirit.

今年最大的亮点，就是首次采用“双主会场”：巴东（Padang）+ 滨海湾（Marina Bay）。从过去的2.7万观众，一口气扩容到23万人，这样的规模在新加坡前所未见。政府明显希望让更多人能亲身参与，不再只是坐在电视前，而是走到现场、感受国家一起庆祝的脉动。
就我个人而言，如果要二选一，我更倾向于去滨海湾。那里有水上表演、烟火秀，再配上天际线背景，绝对是视觉与情感的双重盛宴。但如果你偏好更传统、更庄严的仪式，比如阅兵、唱国歌、升旗，那巴东的仪式感会更强。
另一个选择是预览日还是实际日？很多人喜欢预览日的人潮较少、流程更顺畅，但我认为8月9日“实际日”才是真正值得纪念的时刻。那是整个国家齐心共庆的日子，是属于每一个新加坡人的骄傲。
跳伞、水上表演、烟火、军队操演，还有无数志愿者和幕后英雄的努力，汇聚成这一夜的高光时刻。现在距离国庆只剩不到两个月——你抢票了吗？这不只是场表演，更是一种归属感的宣告，一次与国家一起成长的见证。
