NDP 2025 Theme
This year’s theme, “Majulah Singapura”, honours Singapore’s 60-year nation-building journey. It calls on Singaporeans to celebrate our past and build our collective future together.
A key highlight of NDP 2025 is the show’s expansion from the Padang to the Marina Bay area. In the Pre-Parade segment, the inaugural Jump of Unity will feature the Red Lions descending at the Padang alongside the Republic of Singapore Navy’s naval divers at Marina Bay. The Show segment will combine mass performances at the Padang with building light projections and fireworks across the city skyline, along with water floats and a new floating stage for performers at the Bay. NDP 2025 aims to deliver an immersive experience for all live audience whether they are at the Padang or the Bay.

The Parade and Ceremony segment will feature the largest number of contingents alongside traditional crowd favourites such as the State Flag Flypast, Salute to the Nation, and Presidential Gun Salute. To commemorate SG60, the Republic of Singapore Air Force will perform a special aerial tribute during the segment. Making its first return to the Padang since 2019, the Mobile Column will showcase air, land and maritime assets from the Singapore Armed Forces, Home Team and Maritime Port Authority of Singapore. It will also integrate, for the first time, an aerial flypast over the Padang and a maritime display at the Bay.
The Show segment will present four Acts inspired by the National Anthem, showcasing a talented lineup of local artistes and performers from various organisations. It will culminate with a nationwide Majulah Moment, inviting all Singaporeans to collectively recite the Pledge and sing the National Anthem in a unified display of national solidarity.
To allow even more Singaporeans to join in the festivities, NDP celebrations will be expanded in several ways. On 9 August 2025, the Bay area will feature interactive booths, activities, and carnival games during the day. When the show begins, audiences around the Bay can watch the live NDP show through large LED screens and speakers on site. Five partner-led celebration sites at and near the Bay will offer additional unique experiences. On 10 August 2025, five Heartland Celebrations sites, co-organised with the People’s Association, will host live performances, fireworks, and carnival activities. The Mobile Column will also make its way to the heartlands. More details will be available later.
