The NDP fireworks start at 8.20PM on 9 August 2020 after the pledge segment, and will last for about 5 minutes. We recommend that you prep yourself to watch the display 10 to 15 minutes earlier just so you don’t miss them by accident. If you’re already going to be watching the live telecast of the parade from home, you’re all set as there will probably be TV prompts.

If you’re heading down to watch them in person, you might want to camp at least an hour in advance in order to get a prime viewing spot.

The National Day 2020 fireworks are happening at 10 locations across the island, and you’ll be glad to know that many neighbourhoods in the heartlands are also on the list.

The firework displays are planned out such that they will be projected from 15 to 62 storeys up high, and visible even from neighbouring locations. 

For example, residents of Clementi and Boon Lay will also get a glimpse of the spectacle happening at Jurong Lake Gardens from their homes - so there’s actually no need to head out. This is to prevent large crowds from gathering in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Here are the list of locations from which the NDP 2020 fireworks will be launched:

NORTH
#1: Sembawang
#2: Woodlands

EAST
#3: Tampines

NORTH-EAST
#4: Ang Mo Kio
#5: Punggol

CENTRAL
#6: Bishan

WEST
