Keen to be a part of Singapore’s 55th birthday celebrations 2020 held at Padang? There is no confirmed information on getting tickets for NDP 2020 based on the latest press release. (Likely not to have any audience)

As of 26 July 2020: It is confirmed that there will not be any tickets available for the general public. There will only be 10 spectators who are ‘representatives of society’.

Some details of National Day 2020:

Morning: Strength of Our Nation

The Strength of Our Nation morning segment will focus on our history and traditions, and celebrate our strength and unity built up over the past 55 years. NDP2020 will begin with the Prime Minister’s National Day Message, followed by a parade at the Padang reviewed by the President. As the historic site of the first-ever National Day Parade in 1966, the Padang serves as a fitting location to start a day of celebration. While the National Anthem is played at the Padang, flag-raising ceremonies will take place across the island as we call on Singaporeans to sing the Anthem together.

Parade at Padang

The Parade will be held in the Padang for NDP2020, a venue with deep historical significance. A traditional parade will take place with the President as the Reviewing Officer. The Presidential Gun Salute will also be held in conjunction with the Parade. Stay tuned to find out more!
