From Saturday (Nov 1), members of the public can pen their wishes on spheres at 31 wishing stations around the island. Virtual wishes can also be made at www.marinabaycountdown.sg from Nov 7.

In the lead up to the event, there will be special 3D projections on the façades of the Fullerton Hotel and the Merlion depicting Singapore’s growth and development.

The projections will run every night from Dec 26 to 31 between 8pm to midnight.

On New Year’s Eve itself, the public can look forward to a final visual showcase starting from 11.55pm. This will culminate in a countdown sequence to the new year and will be followed immediately by an eight-minute firework display.

The firework display will be specially choreographed to a score composed by two up-and-coming Singaporean music talents, Mr Julian Wong and Mr Riduan Zalani, under the guidance of renowned musician Iskandar Ismail.

There will be celebrations and bazaars located in public areas surrounding Marina Bay as well as two ticketed events: Celebrate with the World 2015 held at The Promontory, Esplanade and the Celebrate SG50 concert organised by MediaCorp at The Float @ Marina Bay.

The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2015 is being jointly organised by The Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).
