X'mas splendour

Marina Bay will be lit up in Christmas Splendour everynight from Nov 20, 2012 to Jan 2, 2013.

This year celebrates Marina Bay's first Christmas following the completion of Marina Bay Financial Centre, Marina Bay Sands, The Fullerton Heritage with The Fullerton Bay Hotel and Customs House. The Christmas Light Up 2012 route will be extended past Collyer Quay and into Marina Boulevard to "envelope" the Marina Bay.

The Light-up is from 7pm to 12midnight (Sunday to Thursdays), 7pm to 2am (Fridays and Saturdays), and 7pm to 6am (on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve).

As Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, Singapore's famous shopping belts gear up for the season of joy in the way it knows best — by transforming into a retail wonderland. Soak in the festive atmosphere as you stroll down Orchard Road and Marina Bay, a spectacular stretch of twinkling street lights and dressed-up shopping centres.

To help you find the perfect presents for your loved ones, shopping hours will be extended and fabulous offers made available during the season. And there will be countless concerts, musicals and exhibitions to make your Christmas in the Tropics a holiday to remember.
