National Day Parade 2007@ Marina Bay 2007-Celebrate Singapore: City of Possibilities

This year's National Day Parade (NDP) will be held at a new venue - the floating platform at Marina Bay, which is possibly the world's largest floating performance stage and it will transform the new downtown into a bay of celebrations where more people will be able to watch the parade from various vantage points along the waterfront around Marina Bay. There is standing space for about 150 000 people – in addition to the 27 0000 spectators at the seating gallery – to soak in the celebratory atmosphere and mood.

The theme for this year’s NDP is Celebrate Singapore: City of Possibilities. This theme reflects optimism and pride as Singaporeans from all walks of life come together to celebrate our nation’s 42nd Birthday. Singapore is today a city of possibilities because Singaporeans are hardworking, innovative and enterprising in creating and seizing opportunities.

“Holding the NDP and other celebratory activities around the bay will bring an exciting buzz to the area. This helps to make the new downtown at Marina Bay a vibrant place, not just for doing business for entertainment and leisure for all Singaporeans.” said Singapore Armed Forces’ Chief Engineer Officer, Colonel (COL) Teo Jing Siong.

NDP @ Marina Bay 2007 will retain the traditional parade favourites to wow spectators. It will also feature fresh aspects with performances that make use of the waters in the bay and the skies above it as extensions of the performance stage, with the familiar Singapore skyline as a giant backdrop.
