This year marks the National Day Parade’s return to the National Stadium after 10 years, and to celebrate this homecoming, the Esplanade will be raising its own three-day mini-parade.
Held from 7-9 Aug, the Spirit of the Parade festival will feature various band performances, interactive sculptures and the biggest outdoor bazaar ever held at the Esplanade. The entire event will span the entire outdoor bay area, from the Forecourt Garden to the Waterfront.
Here are some highlights of the festival that you can look forward to:
