Every year, the National Day Parade stands as a beacon of celebration for our nation.

From a mix of classic NDP songs to poignant stories of extraordinary Singaporeans, the event is sure to resonate deeply with its audience.

What’s New This Year?

Several exciting additions have been made to the parade:

• Navy Divers Skydiving: Witness an NDP first, as Navy Divers from the Republic of Singapore Navy skydive directly into the bay, equipped in full diving gear. It’s like the iconic Red Lions, but with a twist!
• Red Lions Take Flight: The crowd-favorite Red Lions are enhancing their drop this year by wearing winged suits for the first time, which will provide them increased agility during their descent.
• RSAF50 Aerial Showcase: Commemorating 50 years of the Republic of Singapore Air Force, expect an unparalleled aerial display featuring over 20 RSAF aircrafts during the pre-parade and main event.
