In the blink of an eye, 2016 is nearly ending and 2017 is just a few days away. With all that’s happened in 2016, be it good or bad, most of us would want to celebrate and say bye to 2016 with a bang. However, the louder the bang, the emptier our wallets may become. Thus, here’s a list of free places for you to celebrate your New Year’s Eve in style.
Marina Barrage

The Helix Bridge

Positioned just beside the floating platform, you’re guaranteed a good view of Marina Bay and Singapore’s nightlife come alive.
3. Community Countdown Party

With over 50 Community Countdown Parties in the heartlands, party with familiar faces at your nearest community! No shortage of performances, fireworks and activities, it’s both families friendly and free.
4. The Lawn @ Marina Bay

Almost similar to Marina Barrage, lounge by the large grass patch between The Sail and Marina Bay Financial Centre for a comfortable distance away from the Marina Bay crowd though you’ll have to catch fireworks by their reflections on the buildings of Marina Bay Financial Centre. But that’s better than nothing, right?
5. Waterfront Promenade

Grab a spot with your loved ones on the boardwalk for a view of explosive fireworks against the dark night of Singapore. One thing, though, be there early. Like, really early.
6. The Promontory @ Marina Bay

Just beside The Lawn @ Marina Bay, lay by the grass patch for a night out with your loved ones to shout “3,2,1!”
7. Merlion Park

Nothing better to show your patriotism by ending and starting the new year in your home country by the Merlion. Enjoy a display of wondrous celebrations by the steps of the Merlion Park.
8. Esplanade Bridge

Spread out along the 2 bridges for a view of display you’ll never forget. Remember to get there early for a good spot!
9. Esplanade Outdoor Theatre
