Countdown to a New You
No New Year is complete without a fabulous countdown. And what better way to celebrate it at the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2011/12.
More than just a year-end commemorative party, the countdown event takes place right at the centre of the luxurious Marina Bay waterfront, bringing together collective wishes and aspirations from Singaporeans and visitors alike.
Projecting the thousands of prayers and thoughts into the New Year is the Wishing Spheres Project, a significant component of the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown. The project invites everyone to pen their New Year’s resolutions on a wishing sphere, each representing hope, belief, new possibilities and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. All 20,000 wishing spheres will be launched into Marina Bay – the bay of hope and light – to form part of a stunning visual arts installation.
And no countdown is complete without the show-stopping pyrotechnics. Timed to an original music composition by Cultural Medallion winner, Iskandar Ismail, the magnificent eight minute fireworks is choreographed to light the sky in an octagon formation. So wherever one chooses to be around the bay during the countdown can get a clear view of the dazzling spectacle.
Be part of the action happening at The Float@Marina Bay as regional and local artistes whip the crowd into countdown frenzy. Visitors can log onto www.marina-bay.sg for more information on the various fringe event happenings around the Bay during the month of December.
