A 140m-long dragon lantern set suspended across two Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay will ring in the Year of the Dragon at the River Hongbao, one of Singapore’s largest and longest-running Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations.
A God of Fortune figurine, a crowd favourite, will also feature at the Supertree Grove.
River Hongbao 2024, held at Gardens by the Bay for the fourth consecutive year, will run from Feb 8 to 17. It will start at 6.30pm for the first two days, and at 2.30pm for the rest of the event period.
Admission is free.
For the first time in more than 10 years, the annual event, which has been held since 1987, will have a dazzling display of 30 firecrackers, totalling 18m in length. They will be lit on the first three nights.
Barricades and other safety measures will be in place for visitors, who will be about 15m from the firecrackers.
River Hongbao is organised by the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (SFCCA), Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry, SPH Media Trust’s Chinese Media Group, Singapore Tourism Board and People’s Association.
