Gardens by the Bay’s Christmas Wonderland is back for the 11th year. It is one of Singapore’s biggest Yuletide events, attracting over five million visitors since its debut.
Expect traditional carnival games and rides, more than 20 food and beverage stalls, and around 15 retail kiosks.
What distinguishes Christmas Wonderland from other festive markets is its impressive light displays. You pay to enter a zone of light installations, such as giant gift boxes, white arches, a trio of “Merry Bears”, the largest of which is nearly 6m tall, and a giant ice skate.
The centrepiece is the 20m-tall Spalliera light display, which was inspired by Italian Gothic architecture and handcrafted by artisans in Puglia, Italy. It is also the backdrop for the nightly Blizzard Time, when “snowflakes” fall on visitors to choral music composed by local composer-conductor Dr Darius Lim.
Visitors can also look forward to live band performances by local singer-songwriters, such as Jayden Chia, Suncity Sons, Heema Izzati, and more. Most of these performances will take place at 7.15pm to 9.30pm each night.
