With the holiday season and New Year's just around the corner, there are plenty of events that you can look forward to with your loved ones. If you're looking for things to do at night, there are a couple of light shows and light festivals in Singapore that are Instagram worthy. From the light shows at Marina Bay to Jurong Lake Gardens, here are 6 light shows and festivals that are happening in Singapore right now.
1. Shine A Light, Marina Bay
Instead of the usual New Year's fireworks, Marina Bay is lighting up in a different way this year!

Every 15 minutes, you'll be dazzled by a light animation show which runs for 3 minutes.
When: 1-31 Dec 2020, 8PM-10.30PM (last show extended to 11.45PM on 31 Dec)
