The Straits Times
|July 13, 2024
Performances, fireworks, displays in Bishan, Punggol, Yishun, Paya Lebar, Buona Vista
National Day festivities will continue the day after Aug 9 in five heartland areas, with live performances, fireworks and static displays.
This year’s celebrations, organised by the People’s Association in partnership with the National Day Parade (NDP) executive committee, aim to draw more than 160,000 people in Bishan, Punggol, Yishun, Paya Lebar and Buona Vista on Aug 10.
Tickets to the heartland celebrations are available for free at community centres from July 12, with each person being able to collect up to two tickets. There are 100,000 tickets available for collection on a first come, first served basis, but members of the public without tickets are still welcome to attend the event, as long as space permits.
Those with tickets can enter the respective sites and receive a National Day Parade pack, the People’s Association (PA) said at a media conference at its headquarters on July 12.
