Chingay 2011 will be staged at the Pit Building against the backdrop of Marina Bay. Expect a fiery opening with Singapore's first pair of 88-metre long dragons-in-the-sky from Xi-An, China and a dragon entwined with firecrackers. Also, be sure to watch Singapore's iconic attractions on the move as the Singapore Flyer, Resorts World Sentosa and Wildlife Reserves each stage their float and performances.

Highlights of the parade include, the largest ever moving multi-ethnic performances, first ever travelling dance competition within the parade, a spectacular finale where heart-warming candle lights held by thousands of performers will flood the entire parade ground, an inaugural colourful Arts District/ Carnival and the most happening night party in town! Complete with dazzling floats under the night skies, the parade is a cultural extravaganza of performances from Singapore and that of around the world.
