Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2026 Ushers In A Spectacular Start To The New Year

In the weeks leading up to the new year, visitors were treated to a series of spectacular light projection shows: Brightening Lives, a showcase of works by artists with disabilities from ART:DIS projected onto the historic façade of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, and Sharing Joy, Celebrating with our Communities featuring works by ASEAN artists from the UOB Painting of the Year (POY) competition on UOB Plaza 1.

Under the theme Thriving Beyond Limits, the artworks featured in Brightening Lives — which was presented in collaboration with local philanthropic organisation The Majurity Trust — explored the ideas of unity, perseverance, and innovation with a common purpose. Meanwhile, Sharing Joy, Celebrating with our Communities featured a series of artworks that invited audiences to look ahead with optimism.

Both shows also featured a special countdown sequence in the final minutes leading to midnight as Singapore welcomed the new year.

Visitors also enjoyed a range of festive experiences across the Bay.
