The Straits Times
|June 25, 2024
More than 15,000 people are expected to attend NTUC’s first large-scale National Day event in almost a decade, at the Promontory @ Marina Bay.
The NTUC x NDP Bay Celebrations – to be held on Aug 3 and 9 – is part of the extended National Day Parade (NDP) 2024 celebrations. NDP 2024 will be held at the Padang and, for the first time, be extended to the Promontory.
Balloting for tickets to the event is open from June 24 to July 8, noon. Singaporeans and permanent residents may apply at www.ndpbaycelebrations.sg
Each person can ballot for only two tickets.
The event, co-organised by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the National Day Parade executive committee (NDP Exco), will see 7,500 people each night watch a live broadcast of the NDP or the preview on Aug 3, as well as live music performances by young local talents before and after the broadcast.
The celebrations will take place from 3pm to 10pm.
It was earlier reported that the NDP 2024 event space will be expanded to the Promontory area – an open space near Marina Bay Financial Centre.
