Would you believe your eyes if ten million fireflies were to light up Singapore’s skies? Almost as a prelude to the grand National Day fireworks comes Spark, an immersive light show by Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde. Having toured over 10 cities, including Tokyo, London, Melbourne, and Auckland, this captivating installation now lands at Gardens by the Bay’s Supertree Grove, marking its very first appearance in Southeast Asia.
Meant to be a more environmentally friendly rendition of fireworks as we know them, Spark uses thousands of biodegradable light sparks that resemble a swarm of fireflies and stars as they float about and twinkle through the night. They’re also silent, which means that those with sensory issues – or even your furry friends – are also able to comfortably enjoy the enchanting spectacle without experiencing any distress normally associated with traditional pyrotechnics.
Don’t believe the photos? Here’s a video teaser of what’s in store IRL:
Dates and timings for ‘Spark’ in Singapore:
- July 31 to August 2: 8pm to 10pm
- August 3: 9pm to 10pm
Admission to Spark at Gardens by the Bay’s Supertree Grove is free. Do note that the 7.45pm Garden Rhapsody show on July 31, as well as the ones at 8.45pm from July 31 to August 2, will be cancelled as a result of Spark – though the ones on August 3 will be proceeding as per usual. We suggest strategically timing your visit so that you can catch both shows in succession during the same visit. Find out more about Spark here.
