This year (2023)’s National Day parade will be held at the Padang and there are so many Singapore National Day activities that you can organise for your company or community to celebrate this joyous occasion.
If your venue or office is near Padang, then it is a perfect day to celebrate this joyous occasion with the families.
We also have prepared 2 packages suitable for community events to celebrate with everyone! (at the end of the post)
10 ideas for your Singapore National Day Activities

Hence, we know what works well for different types of dynamics and group. You can whatsapp or email us for a customised package.
Heritage themed celebration
Organize a vibrant parade showcasing Singapore’s rich cultural heritage with traditional performances, and fashion show from various ethnic groups. Families can enjoy the festivities while learning about Singapore’s diverse traditions.
Get our racial harmony mascots which are a favorite attraction for children to take photos with.
Family Sports Day.
Host a fun-filled sports event for families, featuring a range of activities such as relay races, tug-of-war, and friendly competitions. Set up different stations for both kids and adults to participate in various sports and games.
Incorporate some traditional sports games of Singapore like carrom and marble (gouli)
Movie Night
Showcase our local movies like Ah Boy to Men and I Not Stupid. You can even create an open-air cinema experience in a park, on top of a multi-storey carpark or community space.
Families can bring blankets and picnic baskets to enjoy the movie under the stars.
Cultural Food Fair:
Set up a food fair showcasing Singapore’s culinary delights from different ethnic communities. Have stalls providing local dishes, snacks like kueh tutu and muah chee. Include interactive cooking demonstrations and workshops for families to learn about traditional recipes.
Creative Craft Workshops:
Conduct craft workshops where families can learn crafts like batik painting or crafts related to the Singapore Flag so children can learn about the symbolism of the crescent moon and stars. Provide all the necessary materials and guidance, allowing participants to take home their creations as mementos.
Mr Bottle’s Kids Party has created some exclusively designed papercraft of Merlion and Bumboat for downloads for a small fee (for personal use). If you need us to run these Singapore-themed art & craft workshops like Peranakan tile painting and kueh clay modelling, we have craft teachers to do this for you.
Family Concert in the Park:
Organize a live music concert featuring local bands, musicians, and performers. Choose a picturesque park as the venue and set up a stage for the performances. Families can bring picnic mats and enjoy an evening of music and entertainment.
Colouring / Drawing competition:
Plan a family-friendly drawing or colouring competition with different categories and suitable for all ages. Encourage families to participate together and promote the importance of family bonding. We have downloads available; contact us for more details.
National Day Carnival:
Set up a carnival with various rides, games, and activities for families. Include traditional carnival games like:
- Tikam Tikam
- Carrom Game
- Satay Relay
- Food Memory Game
- Giant board games like Snakes and Ladder
You can also include all-time favourites like inflatable castles, face painting, and magic show to create a festive atmosphere.
Fireworks Spectacular:
Conclude the National Day celebration by watching our grand fireworks display together at your office window. Of course, there are also mini parades at the Heartlands which you can catch this spectacular.
If your venue is near the Padang, plan some activities after the fireworks so that you do not have to squeeze with everyone for public transport or out of the carpark.
