Grab the family and head down to Gardens by the Bay for the annual River Hongbao celebrations this Chinese New Year. Marking its 40th anniversary this year, the festival is pulling out all the stops – including a fireworks display at The Meadow, lighting up the night sky in a riot of colour.
Come hungry, as there’s a bustling food market packed with street food favourites to explore. Snap photos with larger-than-life lantern installations scattered across the grounds, from a towering God of Fortune to playful Year of the Horse designs. There are also interactive displays tracing River Hongbao’s journey over the decades, alongside nightly live performances by local singers such as Tosh Rock and Charlie Lim. Little ones won’t be left out either, with amusement rides like the Flying Dumbo, London Train and a charming two-storey horse carousel.
