On Sunday 12 February 2023, Our Tampines Hub, Singapore’s first integrated and community lifestyle hub, will be celebrating Chingay at Tampines as part of the Chingay@Heartlands celebrations organised by People’s Association, in conjunction with the Chinese New Year festivities.
From 6 pm to 10 pm, the Chingay@Heartlands celebrations at Our Tampines Hub will bring the Chingay experience to residents with immersive and experiential Chingay programming.
Chingay is an annual event that celebrates the dynamism of Singapore’s multi-culturalism.
Chingay@Heartlands celebrations at Tampines
Our Tampines Hub will feature the Heartlands Celebrations’ 上台就开心 – The Happy Concert, Chingay Float Caravan touring around Tampines, Chingay Mini Floats display and roving Chingay performers at Town Square and Festive Walk East.
A treat will be the sight of dazzling floats passing by the Tampines neighbourhoods, making their way around the estate. There will be 17 community co-created mini floats with Tampines Town’s very own futuristic Year of the Rabbit float.
Another highlight will be the fireworks planned for the evening at Our Tampines Hub.
Other entertainments that Tampines residents can expect include a night of getai at the Heartlands Celebrations’ 上台就开心 – The Happy Concert. This evening show will be hosted by local celebrities Marcus Chin and Lim Peifen, and guest performer 小黑 (Raju Kumara) at the Town Square.
Adding to the festivities at the Chingay@Heartlands celebrations at Tampines will be roving stilt walkers and performers mingling with families and friends at the Town Square.
Families can head down to Festive Walk East for a peek into what the Year of the Rabbit has in store for their Chinese zodiac. In the evening, they will also enjoy the colourful and festive light up of illuminated gigantic lantern with their families and friends.
