For the first time, the live parade will take place not just at Padang but will extend to Marina Bay, giving more people the chance to experience the festivities.

Marina Bay will host a brand-new floating stage for performances, along with large screens streaming the live show from Padang. There will also be interactive booths, activities and carnival vibes all around.
Meanwhile, Padang celebrations will feature well-loved highlights including the state flag flypast and presidential gun salute. This year also sees the return of the mobile column showcasing Singapore's military assets across air, land and sea.
What is the theme song for NDP 2025?
This year's theme song is titled Here We Are, written by Charlie Lim and Chok Kerong, produced by Dr Sydney Tan and performed by Kit Chan, Charlie Lim and local band The Island Voices. You can watch the full video here.
