Chingay Parade

The Chingay Parade is undoubtedly one of the most important events in Singapore, and it’s when street floats, clowns, dancers, acrobats, jugglers and many other performers can be seen in the celebration of the Chinese New Year.

The parade’s origins are in China, where processions were held for two weeks in honour of the Lunar New Year in preparation for the arrival of spring.

For Chingay Parade 2024, audiences were busked in the captivating theme of “Blossom.” The theme signified the growth, transformation, and flourishing of individuals and communities and Chingay’s aspiration for like-minded people and partners to unite and blossom as one community.

The enchanting blooming flowers scattered throughout the parade reflected the people’s spirit of unity and togetherness and showcased the different talents. It was a spectacle of colourful and vibrant costumes and special effects, with flowers as an exquisite motif throughout the six mesmerizing acts.
