impressive fly-pasts and aerobatics it was time to for the fireworks display, being the official SG50 Fireworks Display I was expecting an impressive show, especially considering how good the fireworks were for the [Opening](https:\/\/ozstravels.com\/sea-games-2015-opening-ceremony-fireworks\/) and [Closing](https:\/\/ozstravels.com\/28th-sea-games-closing-ceremony-fireworks\/) Ceremonies of the 2015 SEA Games. Unfortunately, in my opinion, they were fairly disappointing.\n\nThis slideshow requires JavaScript.\n\nThe flypasts and aerobatics were very impressive, but I felt that the fireworks were a bit of anti-climax, still Singapore proved, yet again, that it knows how to put on a great show!! Next year, 2016, the National Day Celebrations will be held in and around the Singapore National Stadium, which I have a great view of from my balcony, can’t wait for that\\!\n\n[![20150809-DSC08668](https:\/\/ozstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20150809-DSC08668.jpg)](https:\/\/ozstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/20150809-DSC08668.jpg)\n\n### Share this:\n- [Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email](https:\/\/www.ozstravels.com\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection#d7e8a4a2b5bdb2b4a3eaf2e29584bfb6a5b2b3f2e5e787b8a4a3f2e293f2e5e78490e2e7f2e5e799b6a3beb8b9b6bbf2e5e793b6aef1f4e7e4efecb5b8b3aeeabfa3a3a7a4f2e496f2e591f2e591a0a0a0f9b8ada4a3a5b6a1b2bba4f9b4b8baf2e591a4b0e2e7fab9b6a3beb8b9b6bbfab3b6aef2e591f1f4e7e4efeca4bfb6a5b2eab2bab6bebb)\n- [Tweet](https:\/\/twitter.com\/share)\n- [Share on Tumblr](https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/share \"Share on Tumblr\")\n- [Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp](https:\/\/www.ozstravels.com\/sg50-national-day\/?share=jetpack-whatsapp)\n- [More](https:\/\/www.ozstravels.com\/sg50-national-day\/)\n\n- [Share on Telegram (Opens in new window) Telegram](https:\/\/www.ozstravels.com\/sg50-national-day\/?share=telegram)\n- [Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit](https:\/\/www.ozstravels.com\/sg50-national-day\/?share=reddit)\n\n### Like this:\nLike Loading...\n### *Related*\n***\n### Discover more from Oz's Travels\nSubscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.\n\n- [← SG50 National Day Parade Practice Part 2](https:\/\/www.ozstravels.com\/sg50-national-day-parade-practice-part-2\/)\n- [Monthly Wine Writing Challenge 19 – Choice →](https:\/\/www.ozstravels.com\/monthly-wine-writing-challenge-19-choice\/)\n\n### Hiya, please leave comment[Cancel reply](https:\/\/www.ozstravels.com\/sg50-national-day\/#respond)\nThis site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

My comments about the bar are fairly negative, so I won’t mention the place, but it was one of the best locations to be to view the fireworks and aerial show.\n\n[![SG50 National

Boilerpipe Text	SG50 National Day, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Republic of Singapore . Singapore’s National Day is 09 August. As I had no chance to get into the Padang, where the official celebration was being held, I jumped at the chance to spend the night with friends at a bar in Marina Bay where we would have a prime location to watch the fireworks display and the fly-pasts / aerial displays. My comments about the bar are fairly negative, so I won’t mention the place, but it was one of the best locations to be to view the fireworks and aerial show. Fireworks Launch Platform Fireworks Launch Platform Fireworks Launch Platform with the Float in the background Esplanade Outdoor Stage and the floating gun platoform Esplanade Outdoor Stage and the floating gun platoform Esplanade Outdoor Stage and the floating gun platoform Floating gun platform Fullerton Promenade The floating gun platform that performed the 21 Gun Salute Marina Bay Promenade The entire Marina Bay Area was filled with people wearing red, made for a great sight. Arrival of the Singapore National Flag This slideshow requires JavaScript. The first “act” of the fly-past was the arrival of the Singapore National Flag suspended under a Chinook Helicopter, was escorted by a pair of Apache Attack Helicopters, an impressive sight. 50 Formation The 50 formation of F16 Fighting Falcons , was impressive, the practice paid off!! Next up was a flight of F15 Eagles 21 Gun Salute The floating gun platform that performed the 21 Gun Salute I know that the tradition is a 21 Gun Salute, but a 50 Gun Salute to celebrate the 50 years of the Republic of Singapore would have been, in my opinion, a nice touch.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, they were fairly disappointing. This slideshow requires JavaScript. The flypasts and aerobatics were very impressive, but I felt that the fireworks were a bit of anti-climax, still Singapore proved, yet again, that it knows how to put on a great show!! Next year, 2016, the National Day Celebrations will be held in and around the Singapore National Stadium, which I have a great view of from my balcony, can’t wait for that\!

Readable Markdown	SG50 National Day, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the creation of the [Republic of Singapore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore). Singapore’s National Day is 09 August. [![SG50 Logo](https://ozstravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/SG50-Logo.jpg)](https://ozstravels.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/SG50-Logo.jpg) As I had no chance to get into the Padang, where the official celebration was being held, I jumped at the chance to spend the night with friends at a bar in Marina Bay where we would have a prime location to watch the fireworks display and the fly-pasts / aerial displays. My comments about the bar are fairly negative, so I won’t mention the place, but it was one of the best locations to be to view the fireworks and aerial show.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, they were fairly disappointing. This slideshow requires JavaScript. The flypasts and aerobatics were very impressive, but I felt that the fireworks were a bit of anti-climax, still Singapore proved, yet again, that it knows how to put on a great show!! Next year, 2016, the National Day Celebrations will be held in and around the Singapore National Stadium, which I have a great view of from my balcony, can’t wait for that\!
