Singapore unforgettably welcomed 2025 with the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2025 (
滨海湾跨年倒数活动 MBSC 2025). More than just a New Year’s Eve celebration, this year’s event doubled as a tribute to Singapore’s 60th birthday—SG60—marking a milestone of growth, unity, and cultural pride.
Against the iconic Marina Bay skyline, thousands of spectators gathered to witness dazzling fireworks, immersive light displays, and larger-than-life art installations, creating a vibrant tapestry of festivities that reflected Singapore’s rich heritage and bright future.
Dazzling Fireworks That Lit Up the Bay
No countdown in Singapore is complete without a stunning fireworks display, and MBSC 2025 exceeded expectations. The fireworks unfolded in four breathtaking chapters, illuminating the night sky in bursts of vibrant colours.
What made this year’s display truly special was the debut of orchid motif fireworks, a tribute to Singapore’s national flower. Carefully choreographed by the creative minds behind STAR ISLAND, these designs transformed the Marina Bay skyline into a canvas of floral brilliance, symbolising beauty, resilience, and growth.
As the clock struck midnight, the spectacular display drew cheers from the crowd, capturing the spirit of togetherness that defines Singapore.
