Picnic Under the Fireworks: Celebrating NDP Season at Promontory
#summervacay Fireworks Season at Promontory: Our Picnic Under the Stars Before NDP
There’s something truly magical about Singapore’s fireworks season leading up to National Day Parade (NDP). This year, we decided to experience it a little differently — by having a picnic at Promontory, right by the waterfront, with the city skyline as our backdrop.
As we arrived early in the evening, the grassy lawn was already dotted with families, friends, and couples setting up their picnic spots. The atmosphere felt festive but laid-back, with a gentle sea breeze keeping things cool and comfortable. We found a cozy patch of grass, spread out our blanket, and unpacked our snacks — simple bites, good company, and a perfect view.
As the sky gradually darkened, anticipation grew. When the first fireworks burst into color, lighting up the sky in brilliant reds, blues, and golds, the crowd collectively “oohed” and “aahed.” Kids ran around with sparklers, their faces glowing with excitement, while adults paused to capture the moments or simply gaze up in awe.
The bursts were more than just light shows; they felt like celebrations of our shared pride and community spirit. Between the fireworks, there was time to chat, laugh, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings — the shimmering waters, the city lights, and the palpable energy of everyone gathered for the same joyful reason.
Promontory felt like the perfect place to celebrate this special season. It’s spacious, scenic, and filled with positive energy. Whether you’re there with family, friends, or that special someone, the experience of picnicking under the fireworks sky is one you won’t forget.
As NDP approaches, the excitement is tangible — from the impressive line-up of parade contingents to the rehearsals lighting up the evenings. But for us, it’s these peaceful, joyful moments at Promontory that capture the heart of the season.
If you haven’t tried it yet, grab a picnic basket, head down to Promontory on a fireworks night, and watch the sky come alive. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Singapore’s spirit, together.
