The airplane plaza becomes a place to pause, glass of sparkling chrysanthemum tea in hand, while guitars are played somewhere nearby and the night stretches politely. Live music carries on without urgency, soundtracking conversations that drift between food stalls and long tables, each offering something comforting rather than performative. There is a curious tenderness to the setting. A Christmas tree rises absurdly tall against the aircraft silhouette, begging for photographs that feel faintly surreal. As 31 December draws its breath, fireworks arrive without warning, briefly rewriting the sky before the countdown lands. Greasy Cafe sets the tone early, ETC. closes the chapter and suddenly it is 2026. Togetherness, it turns out, needs very little staging.
December 30-31. Free. ChangChui Creative Park, 7pm onwards
