The National Day Parade (NDP) 2024 Preview 2 will be held at the Padang on Saturday, 3 August 2024.
Safety Security Arrangements
To ensure safety and security at the event, members of the public attending the NDP 2024 Preview 2 are advised to arrive early to allow ample time for security checks on persons and belongings. The public is advised to minimise the number of personal belongings brought into the venue to facilitate security clearance.
Any container (100ml capacity or larger) containing liquid, aerosol or gel will be subjected to additional checks. Canned items including canned drinks will not be allowed into the venue. Each ticket holder will receive a NDP Pack which includes items such as water and light snacks. Action may be taken against anyone who attempts to bring in prohibited items as listed in Annex A.
To prevent overcrowding, police officers and auxiliary police officers will be regulating the flow of crowd at areas in the Marina Bay such as the Esplanade Waterfront, One Fullerton Waterfront, Merlion Park and Marina Bay Sands Waterfront. Members of the public are advised to follow the instructions of the marshals and police officers on duty.
Members of the public intending to visit Marina Bay should check out the Crowd@MarinaBay map found on https://go.gov.sg/crowd-at-marina-bay, or by scanning the QR code, to view real-time crowd levels and areas which may be closed at the various fireworks viewing spots. The map will also include available surface and underground walking paths around Marina Bay, which the public can use to navigate and avoid crowded areas. In addition, the Crowd@MarinaBay map will also be displayed on TV screens at selected MRT stations. Public can access the Crowd@MarinaBay map via their computers and mobile devices on 3 August 2024, from 1.30 pm to 10.00 pm.
In addition, certain entrances/exits of MRT stations around the Marina Bay will be closed to regulate crowd flow. In the event of overcrowding, trains may bypass affected stations such as Bayfront MRT station, to divert crowd away from these crowded areas. Members of the public are advised to be patient and to follow the instructions of the marshals and police officers on duty.
MRT stations including Bayfront, City Hall and Raffles Place MRT stations are expected to be very crowded. Members of the public are encouraged to use other nearby MRT stations such as Esplanade, Promenade, Downtown and Marina Bay MRT stations.
With large crowds expected around the Marina Bay, the public is advised to be vigilant and to safeguard their belongings.

Post-Event Dispersal
After the Parade has ended, dispersal is likely to be slow due to the large crowds expected around the Padang and in the Marina Bay vicinity. Members of the public are advised to be patient and to follow the directions of the marshals and the Police.
