National Day weekend 2026

Three days off in August. Stay in for the fireworks, or fly out while the island is quiet.

National Day marks Singapore's independence in 1965, with the National Day Parade, fireworks over Marina Bay and flypasts across the island. Because 9 August falls on a Sunday this year, the Monday is gazetted in lieu.

Before you book

Worth knowing about this break

  • Fares out of Changi climb sharply about three weeks before - book by mid-July
  • Short-haul is the sweet spot for three days: Bintan, KL, Phuket, Bali
  • If you are staying, bay-front hotels with fireworks sightlines sell out early
