5. Event Plaza @ MBS

If you’re set on getting a front-row view of the fireworks, Events Plaza @ MBS would be an alternative location. Similar to The Merlion Park, Event Plaza @ MBS offers a panoramic view of the Fireworks + our amazing city skyline!

6. Kallang Wave Mall

Trading away a front-row view for something more comfortable, we move away from the Marina/ Downtown core to the suburbs of Singapore.
