New Year's Eve Celebrations
30 Nov 2022
End off 2022 on the right note and usher into the new year with the crowd-favourite fireworks happening around Marina Bay Sands.
As the end of the year draws closer, anticipation builds for the line-up of exciting events to celebrate New Year's Eve. With countless parties and activities happening across Singapore, fill your day with quality time with loved ones before reveling in the festivities at night.
From watching fireworks at a stylish rooftop bar and having a proper feast at Michelin-starred restaurants, to shopping at luxury brands and immersing yourself in exhibitions at museums, there is an abundance of things to do on New Year’s Eve. We’ve curated a comprehensive list to help you plan the perfect New Year's Eve celebration.
Watch the fireworks
With the iconic Marina Bay city skyline as a backdrop, the ultimate way to usher in the New Year is at the STAR ISLAND Countdown. Returning after a two-year hiatus, this spectacular event is a 70-minute bonanza featuring a dazzling array of lights, cutting-edge pyrotechnics, immersive sound effects, and entertainment from a cast of world-class performers.
This year's firework spectacular features the artisanal 'Ghost Effect Shell' fireworks. A first for Asia, these specially handcrafted hana-bi (the Japanese word for fireworks) are designed to bloom in Singapore's stunning colours, culminating in a red-to-white gradation across the sky. Don't miss the opportunity to watch the clock strike midnight at this epic, memorable event.
Also making a triumphant return to the New Year’s Eve entertainment roster is The Great Bay Fiesta. From fairground rides and games to music, street performers, and the incredible gravity-defying The Great Cirque des Cascades show, this is your spot for a carnival-like atmosphere full of premium entertainment that will leave the whole family thrilled.
Dining of towering proportions
The brilliant vistas of the city's skyline provide an awe-inspiring backdrop for any amazing night out. At the top of Marina Bay Sands, you’ll find rooftop bars and restaurants that serve scrumptious food alongside magnificent views of the fireworks for a dazzling Singapore New Year’s Eve.
Spago Dining Room
Treat yourself before the year ends by indulging in a fine dining experience. Seating you on top of the world, Spago offers a sophisticated setting with cinematic views of the city and the dramatic skyline. After drinking in the vistas, turn your attention and appetite to the New Year’s Eve Prix Fixe menu of signature Californian cuisine with contemporary local accents. Delve into an opening act of starters like the Burrata with Roasted Beetroot, a medley of rocket, crunchy pistachios and crispy prosciutto - and the Orecchiette with Iberico Pork Sausage is a savoury delight topped with fennel seed, Swiss Chard, Chili and parmesan.
The story continues with a delectable cast of mains. The Pan Seared Sea Bream “Laksa” is a Spago classic served with rice noodles, a touch of Thai basil, and calamansi bathed in a curried Coconut Broth. Bringing a fresh taste of succulent sweetness, the Lobster Pot Pie combines earthy French black truffles, Winter Vegetables, and a creamy shellfish velouté. Wrap things up with classic, creamy and nutty Mont blanc for dessert.

LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar
57 floors atop Marina Bay Sands, LAVO’s lofty views of the city and equally stunning interiors create an inviting atmosphere, setting the mood for an evening with hearty Italian-American cuisine. The cleverly curated appetisers offer light bites to sample the roster of delights on the menu. For mains, the crowd-pleasers are LAVO’s selection of Brick Oven Pizzas and Pastas for classic Italian fare. Their exquisite house special, the LAVO Meatball, is prepared with one pound of freshly ground Imperial Wagyu, veal, and Italian sausage, topped with a generous serving of whipped Ricotta cheese.
When the clock strikes twelve, get mesmerised by the fireworks and raise a glass to the New Year with a drink from their tempting specialty cocktail menu. The LAVO Mule blends Belvedere vodka, lime, and a pour of homemade ginger syrup – a top tipple for making the night one to remember.

CÉ LA VI Skybar & Sky Lounge
An outdoor oasis with sweeping views of the city, CÉ LA VI Skybar & Sky Lounge combines chic interiors with Asian flavours for a colourful evening. Gather with friends and tuck into your own New Year’s Eve lunch or dinner with delicious snacks and main plates perfect for sharing. A popular favourite, the A4 Miyazaki Katsu Bao Sando – served with coleslaw, kizami wasabi and tonkatsu sauce – is a divine bite of tangy umami flavours and crunchy textures and make a great entrée to the tender Smoked Balainese Baby Back Pork Ribs.
Enhance your rooftop dining experience by pairing it with a signature cocktail expertly crafted by CÉ LA VI’s mixologists. Inspired by the classic cocktail invented during the 1800s, the Rum-A-Laka is a heady combination of salted caramel, toasted banana peels, and a hint of gula Melaka, a clever nod to the traditional “Pisang Salai” dessert. The explosion of flavours is a vivid complement to the gleaming fireworks.
