This celebration of Singapore’s 60th year of independence will run from July to August.
Changi Airport Group (CAG) and Jewel Changi Airport (Jewel) unveiled a lineup of SG60 events from July to August, themed “Together, We Make Magic” – a tribute to Singapore’s unique identity and the people who shaped it.
“We’re excited to launch celebrations for our nation’s 60th birthday,” said Mr Jayson Goh, Executive Vice-President of Airport Management, Changi Airport Group. “Changi Airport has grown alongside our nation, and it is a place which holds precious memories for many Singaporeans and travellers. With a vibrant line-up of events, we look forward to welcoming everyone to be part of the SG60 festivities at Changi Airport.”
Sing your heart out to classic local tunes at the SG60 Homecoming Concert
For music lovers and karaoke fans, come join the ultimate National Day sing-along at the SG60 Homecoming Concert at Jewel on 1 August. Headlined by acclaimed singers Stefanie Sun and Kit Chan, attendees will be serenaded by familiar and beloved tunes. Look out too for regionally celebrated singer-songwriter Sezairi, pop princess Regina Song, Mandopop folk-duo The Freshman (插班生), and groovy pop band SuperSonic.
Enjoy a magical evening of local music, set against Jewel’s Forest Valley.
The concert is free, but a ticket is required for entry. Tickets will be distributed to the public via ballot. More details will be out on Changi Airport’s social media channels by early-July.
A journey of good with Changi’s SG60 charity walk
Join Buddy and Mr Merlion on a delicious night walk down the glowing Changi Airport Connector¹ (PCN) on 27 July at the SG60 Changi Airport Charity Walk. This fund-raising event is organised in support of Community Chest-funded programmes that empower children with special needs and youth-at-risk.
Stroll down the Changi Airport Connector at the SG60 Charity Walk – all proceeds from the event will go to Community Chest Singapore.
Grab early bird tickets by 30 June, with special discounted rates for the Changi Airport community. Each participant will get a race pack with goodies² including an event tee, eco-bag, and retail vouchers – available for collection from 18 to 20 July.
The walk flags off at Terminal 2’s Race Village and journeys along a glowing two-kilometre SG60-themed stretch of the Changi Airport Connector to the Finisher Carnival at Terminal 4. Participants can enjoy interactive trivia stations and nostalgic local treats like ice cream sandwiches and gem biscuits. Complete the distance and be rewarded with a finisher medal and an exclusive mini-plush keychain. For the adventurous, there’s a bonus stretch near the Jurassic Mile with a dino-themed light-up and a final checkpoint to conquer!
Participants can register via the link here. Those unable to attend the event can still take part in the 60km virtual run challenge to get the exclusive plush keychain when they finish.
Donations can be made on the event page. CAG will match contributions dollar-for-dollar (up to S$60,000) via the Changi Foundation. Eligible donations will also be matched by SG Gives, turning every S$1 into S$4 for the Community Chest.
Marvel at the breathtaking arches that make up the SG60 outdoor light-up
From 28 July, visitors driving along Airport Boulevard will be greeted by an enchanting outdoor light-up. Marking ’60 years of Homecoming’, the road will be lined with images of iconic locations like the Merlion, Toa Payoh Dragon Playground, and Gardens by the Bay, leading to a mesmerising arch in the red and white of the Singapore flag.
Stunning horticultural displays across Changi’s terminals and Jewel
Celebrate Singapore’s national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim, at Terminal 3 with a 270 sqm floral garden from 21 July. The showcase features orchids like Dendrobium Changi Airport and Renanthera Singaporeans, anchored by a seven-metre-tall Vanda Miss Joaquim centrepiece – a tribute to Singapore as a City in Nature.
At Terminal 2, a six-metre floral Merlion created using 60 types of plants stands proudly by the Wonderfall, symbolising national pride and heritage. There are also floral displays featuring iconic local snacks like curry puffs that bring a sensory celebration of Singaporean identity.
At Jewel, over 1,200 orchids will transform the Jewel Forest Valley into a vivid floral display from 1 to 31 August, featuring red and white blooms symbolising unity. A special Dendrobium Jewel Changi Airport hybrid, created to mark Jewel’s fifth anniversary, will also be showcased.
Celebrating SG60 with Jewel’s special “Home” Light & Music Showcase
Jewel marks SG60 with a special Light & Music Showcase.
Jewel will have the much-loved special rendition of its signature Light & Music Showcase, featuring Singapore’s cherished anthem, “Home (1998)”, by Kit Chan. On display daily³ throughout August, the showcase blends the timeless melody of “Home” with captivating projections of iconic Singaporean symbols brought to life through delicate, hand-drawn illustrations in a graceful watercolour style.
