5 Things To Do In Singapore This Week: 30th December 2019 to 5th January 2020
PUBLISHED December 29th, 2019 04:00 am
Goodbyes are tough, but this week’s slew of New Year’s Eve bashes sure make it easier to send off 2019 in style. As usual, Marina Bay sees the lion’s share of festive action − rave out with Silent Disco and catch some circus thrills right on the bayfront. And as they say, every end is a new beginning (of another party, in this case). Kick off 2020 right with a fabulously boozy brunch at Tanjong Beach Club, or dig into a hearty barbecue at LeVeL33.
Groove Out Of 2019 with Silent Disco
Bop your way into 2020 with the city’s quietest and craziest rave. As always, Silent Disco Asia is spinning us three channels of thumping tunes, from house hoedown to rock anthems to pop chart-toppers. Groove out with your headset-wearing homies in the glittering Civic District, complete with unrivalled views of the New Year’s Eve fireworks. No worries about party fuel − there’ll be a variety of food stalls around the space, and of course, a fully-stocked bar.
Silent Disco at Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2020 is happening on 31 December 2019 from 8pm onwards, at Empress Lawn, Civic District Singapore. Tickets are priced at S$35 (standard) and S$40 (last few) via Peatix, and S$50 at the door.
Catch Mindblowing Acts by The Great Circus of Europe
The circus is coming to town, and it’s conjuring up fun times ahead with mind-boggling acts, carnival games, and street grub. For its Singapore debut, The Great Circus of Europe is set to get your adrenaline rushing with aerial motorbike feats by The Skyriders, stunning acrobatics by The Athumani Warriors, sultry choreography by The London Showgirls, and more. Get more thrills with carnival rides at the adjoining Escapade Festival Village, before filling up on tasty bites along the food street.

Peek Into The #futuretogether at Gardens by the Bay
If you need a break from the partying, get lit with dazzling art installations at Gardens by the Bay. In honour of Singapore’s bicentennial, teamLab has designed a dreamy set of outdoor light artworks centred around the themes of aspirations, connectivity, and possibilities. Catch musical ‘eggs’ of light floating across the Dragonfly Lake, or interact with a latticework of seasonal flowers as they bloom and scatter. It’s worth paying a return visit to the indoor exhibits from mid-January, where you can explore a digital forest of native flora and fauna.
#futuretogether‘s outdoor exhibits can be viewed from 15 December 2019 to 15 March 2020 between 7pm−12am, at Bayfront Plaza, Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Dr, Singapore 018953. Entry is free.

Soak Up Sun and Brunch at Tanjong Beach Club
