It's Showtime!
July - September 2008

Singapore is bathed in light and colour as she celebrates her 43rd birthday and welcomes the world’s first F1 night race.

Singapore’s birthday bash on 9 August marks its 43rd year of independence this year and is celebrated in a big way, with a majestic National Day Parade (NDP). The stage is set atop Asia’s largest floating performing platform at the Marina Bay, with an exciting line-up of performances, from colourful cultural dance to precise military moves, acrobatic performances, fiery pyrotechnics and stunning fireworks.

Other than the NDP, check out the Singapore Food Festival, from 4 to 27 July, which brings you a variety of flavours, in the form of food carnivals, culinary classes and dining offers across the island. Cyberspace never looked this exciting! The World Cyber Games 2008 Asian Championship from 7 to 10 August is the meeting place for the finest gamers in Asia to battle for the coveted championship title. Nature lovers will delight in the variety of flora on show at the Singapore Garden Festival, from 25 July to 1 August. Fantasy gardens, rare breeds, an orchid show and a bustling marketplace will fill two floors of the Suntec Convention Centre with the best nature has to offer.

 
 
 
   
 
   
       
 
  Named after Sir Andrew Clarke, the Governor of the Straits Settlements from 1873 to 1875, Clarke Quay was given a facelift in 2006 and is now considered one of the hippest places to go for a grand night out.  
 
  This road used to feature orchards and plantations, and many nearby roads now bear their owners’ names, such as Prinsep Street, Oxley Road, Scotts Road and Cuppage Road. Today, Orchard Road is Singapore’s prime shopping thoroughfare.
 
       
 
  During the early days of Singapore’s founding, Indians flocked to Serangoon Road to live and to set up shop. Today, Little India is a colourful enclave of Indian culture with its many food, fashion and entertainment outlets offering something for everyone.
 
 
 

Derived from the Malay word meaning ”peace and tranquillity”, Sentosa used to be a haunt and refuge of pirates until the 19th century. Nowadays, the resort island is a hotbed of activity for locals and holidaymakers who just want a quick getaway from the bustling city.
