The timing of our visa run to Singapore couldn\u2019t have been better as we were happily surprised to be here just in time for the SG50 National Day Celebration!<\/p>\n

The entire week we have enjoyed various events all around the city from parades, food markets, to the impressive exhibition of the Black Knight jets. The highlight however would be on August 9, when the skies will light up as Singapore celebrates its largest and most anticipated National Day. The SG50 firework display this year is supposed to be bigger, bolder, and downright awesome! The fireworks will be set off from seven different rooftops, two barges on the Marina Bay, the Padang, and the rooftop of the seating area at the floating platform. This will help create a larger 360 degree view for everyone to enjoy.\u00a0Before you go and celebrate the big day, here\u2019s the scoop on\u00a0the best places to watch the Singapore National Day fireworks.\"singapore<\/p>\n

Esplanade Waterfront<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Esplanade\u2019s outdoor Theatre by the Bay provides a great view point for everything happening in the Marina. You will have to catch the fireworks from an angle but the festive and fun atmosphere makes up for it. Food and drinks are available by the nearby Makansutra Gluttons Bay Hawker center.<\/p>\n

Insider Tip:\u00a0<\/strong>The roads around the Esplanade will be closed during the event so check for alternative routes ahead of time.<\/p>\n

If you want to be right in the heart of the action, catch the fireworks next to Singapore\u2019s iconic Merlion as you watch the sky light up. The scenery here will be epic so make sure you bring your cameras! If you want to nab some seats, best to go ahead of time as this place will be packed.<\/p>\n

Gardens by the Bay Marina Barrage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although your view won\u2019t be as amazing compared to the Marina, this place can offer a unique perspective on the fireworks. Plus, it won\u2019t be as crowded compared to the other places. Capture great images with both the giant trees by the Garden and the iconic hotel, Marina Bay Sands. There will also be live streaming on LED screens from here.<\/p>\n
