1. New Year Starting from the first day of January is the New Year celebrations that take
place all across the globe to welcome the start of the new calendar year. Are
you the ones who like to party all night and way into the wee hours of the
morning? Celebrate the New Year at the enormous Fountain of Wealth at Suntec
City, where live music and street dancing will keep you boogie-ing all night
long. At some common place in Singapore, some great fire works displays are held
on the occasion. 2. Lunar New Year There’s the Chinese New Year that occurs in the month of January or February.
This is the high point of the Chinese calendar and is celebrated with much pomp
and Cheers. It is also known as the Lunar New Year and this festival lasts for
15 days. One can see the famous Dragon dance and parades all along the streets.
The atmosphere in Singapore’s Chinatown is a visual treat, the sky is lit up
with fire works and at nights the celebrations are more festive. 3. Vesak Day For Buddhist, Vesak Day marks the birthday of the Lord Gautama Buddha. In

celebrations of Christmas can be found here, the carols, late-night mass,
nativity scenes, winking fir trees and gaily-wrapped presents.
