National Day in Singapore is celebrated annually on August 9 to commemorate Singapore’s independence from Malaysia in 1965. This year’s festivities will include community events, street parties and cultural performances as well as government sponsored celebrations.
The main event of the holiday is the beloved National Day Parade (NDP). The 2025 theme song is “Here We Are.” It’s a moving anthem that pays tribute to the people and spirit of Singapore. NDP will feature festivities, excitement, spectacles and a deep sense of national pride.
This year the celebrations extend past the historic Padang to Marina Bay and city skyline with island wide festivities. The 2025 theme – “Majulah Singapura” – means Onward Singapore. Reflecting on their remarkable 60 year journey, the country will be celebrating their collective achievements and looking forward with optimism.
The Parade will begin with the Jump of Unity with the legendary Red Lions parachuting onto the Padang and Navy divers descending into Marina Bay. You’ll see the spectacular State Flag Flypast, the Salute to the Nation, the Presidential Gun Salute and an aerial tribute by the Singapore Air Force. You’ll see vibrant performances by much loved local artists.
This will end with a recital of the National Pledge and singing the National Anthem, a powerful time for all Singaporeans. Then enjoy a fireworks display.
If you’re not on the parade route, the city will still be celebrating with NDP activities, carnival games and interactive booths. Large LED screens and speakers will broadcast the NDP live.
