The bridges are the stars of the festival's bicentennial edition
The popular i Light Marina Bay festival returns this year from 28 January to 24 February, and it's the biggest one yet. In addition to the Marina Bay promenade, the sustainable light art festival is also lighting up the Civic District, the Singapore River area, and Raffles Terrace at Fort Canning Park, the expansion thus reflected in the slightly modified name, "i Light Singapore." Taking place 200 years after Sir Stamford Raffles arrived on our island, this seventh edition of the festival is also a special bicentennial edition.
Visitors can look forward to a total of 33 exciting artworks - 32 light art installations and a huge multimedia show (at the Singapore River) - most of them telling a story of Singapore's history, evolution and future. What also makes this year's i Light Singapore bigger are the newly introduced fun and interactive programs, from yoga under the glow of a light installation to movie screenings.
After previewing several of the light art installations, we think this edition of i Light Singapore is a magical one you should not miss! As you explore the artworks, be sure to check out these beautiful and innovative installations that add a touch of magic to our historic landmarks.
3. Oriflammes
Where: Jubilee Bridge
One of the most picturesque installations of the festival, “Oriflammes” attracted lots of visitors snapping photos and selfies on Jubilee Bridge. A whopping total of 630 flags wave gently in the wind, sparkling with bright colours of the rainbow that constantly change in a kaleidoscope of lights. Though it’s activated both day and night, we think it’s most beautiful enjoyed after dark, lighting our way towards the future.
