Christmas lovers will be thrilled to know that it’s getting closer to ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ – the Orchard Road Christmas Light Up begins on 13 November 2020!
Every year, the Orchard Road Business Association pulls out all the stops to present a magical Orchard Road Christmas experience with its “Christmas on a Great Street“, and this year will be extra special. Celebrating solidarity in light of Covid-19 with the theme ‘Love This Christmas’, this year’s Orchard Road Christmas Light Up will celebrate a traditional-looking Christmas with lots of baubles, presents, holly and mistletoe in shades of gold, white and blue!
While there won’t be The Great Christmas Village this year, you can still delight the kiddos with all the lights that will be lit along the 3.1-kilometre stretch from Tanglin Mall to Plaza Singapura! Look forward to plenty of great photo opportunities (use the kirakira+ app or try some Tiktok filters if you want your photos and videos to be extra sparkly!). Whether you have toddlers or teenagers, this year promises to have something for the whole family. Scroll through our gallery to see some of the highlights….
