Chingay Parade 2011 Kicks Off
The Chingay Parade will be held over two days (11-12 February) at the Pit Building, next to the Singapore Flyer.
It promises to be a grand international affair with performers from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and even Germany and Denmark.
Besides the showcase of cultures and talents from different ethnic groups, there will be also a street dance party, ‘City Alive, Singapore’s Biggest Street Dance Party’ on 12 February.
Road closures are at Republic Boulevard in the direction of Raffles Ave between Republic Ave and Raffles Boulevard and Temasek Ave from 6pm to 12 midnight.
I love the atmosphere at this annual traditional parade but will not pay to watch as the tickets are not cheap. Depending on the category, you pay between $25 to $55.
For non-paying public, you can still catch a glimpse of the Chingay parade performers who will just walk past or wave at you.
