Best Places to Watch New Year's Eve Fireworks Singapore 2023
The Marina Bay Countdown Fireworks are back after 2 years hiatus. This year's fireworks extravaganza will be at the Float at Marina Bay by STAR ISLAND. While that is a paid event, there are still vantage views. You can catch the Fireworks for FREE.
The timing for New Year's Eve Fireworks will be at the stroke of midnight. However, there should be smaller fireworks displayed by STAR ISLAND on the Float.
