No Fireworks Display At Marina Bay NYE Countdown For 2nd Straight Year To Reduce Crowds

No Fireworks Display At Marina Bay NYE 2022 Countdown

Before Covid-19 hit, many people often went to Marina Bay to watch fireworks displays during NYE countdown events.

Unfortunately, there will be no fireworks for the second consecutive year at the New Year’s Eve countdown celebration in the area.

This move is to reduce crowds and prevent the spread of Covid-19. The New Year’s Eve fireworks will be set off at various heartlands locations instead.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) will provide more information on heartland fireworks in the near future.

The countdown special will feature selected heartland fireworks and scenes from Marina Bay.
