You don’t have to wait for the actual NDP for stunning fireworks. Instead, ooh and aah at fireworks displays at NDP rehearsals, held every week from now until July 29. This week, the rehearsals will be happening on July 15, at around 8pm. There are several places to watch fireworks from; head to Gardens by the Bay East, Esplanade, The Promontory, or Helix Bridge for the best views. You’ll want to get there early, however – even rehearsals tend to draw large crowds.
