@rain2peace: The National Day Parade (NDP) Preview 2 on 1 August and the National Day Parade on 9 August are expected to attract tens of thousands of spectators around the National Stadium, Kallang Basin and Marina Bay. Whether you have parade tickets or simply want to enjoy the fireworks from outside the venue, planning ahead can help you avoid heavy crowds and enjoy a smoother experience. Check the Live Crowd Map First Before leaving home, check the official Crowd@NationalStadium online map, available from 5:00pm to 10:30pm on both event days. The live map shows real-time crowd conditions around the National Stadium and nearby waterfront areas. If crowd levels reach safety thresholds, certain areas may be temporarily closed to protect public safety.
