SINGAPORE - Singaporeans can usher in 2026 with celebrations on Dec 31 at seven heartland locations, featuring activities like a kids’ carnival, a recycled fashion showcase and “sober clubbing”, in addition to various music and dance performances.

As part of the ONE Countdown 2026, celebrations will take place at Boon Lay, Keat Hong, Marsiling, Nee Soon, Punggol, Tampines and Woodlands, said the People’s Association (PA) in a statement on Dec 5. Fireworks displays will usher in the new year at all the heartland celebration sites, except for Woodlands.

The public can approach nearby Community Clubs, Residents’ Committees, Neighbourhood Committees, and Residents’ Networks for more information, added PA. Some of the events may require tickets to enter.

Here are the highlights of the events:

The Hearts @ Boon Lay, Building Brighter Futures celebration will feature an “Eras” dance floor featuring DJ-led and multilingual hits from the 60s to today, from a playlist curated by community voting.

The Our Tampines Hub Countdown Celebrations to 2026 will see a Pororo Kids Carnival with activities like bookmark-making and bouncing on a Pororo-themed inflatable. Families with older children can also look forward to e-sports try-outs and other games.

At the One Punggol Year-End Countdown 2026, residents can immerse themselves in performances such as harmonica ensembles, karate demonstration and a thrilling fire circus before counting down to the New Year.

On top of a fireworks display, the countdown at Punggol will also have a drone show, and fire dancing, fire eating and fire circus performances.
