What To Expect At The Gardens By The Bay Light Show

Lay beneath the monstrous Supertrees and watch as they come to life and dance to some of the most iconic movie soundtracks in history!

With the lights on the trees flashing in every colour imaginable, you can’t help but be captivated by this beautiful display.

The Gardens By The Bay Light Show, also known as Garden Rhapsody, is a definite thing not to miss during your time in Singapore.

It was certainly a night to remember for us as we lay and watched the vision above us and took in some of our childhood classics, before heading out into the city for street food.

You may want to get there slightly early to get a decent spot RIGHT BENEATH the trees. However, there is plenty of room for all to enjoy at either of the two showings.

Fun fact: Filming of the well known Hollywood movie Crazy Rich Asians was stopped so that the light show could carry on for the general public.

Throughout the year though, Gardens By The Bay sometimes make changes to the traditional light show, depending on the season or events.

For example ‘Songs of Singapore’ was a recent event that presented a light show designed to covers of well known Singapore songs, performed by many of the local musicians.

Also, Singapore supports Earth Hour each year, which happens near to the end of March, so the light show doesn’t happen during that hour of the evening.

(Started in Sydney Australia in 2007, the most recent Earth Hour was a moment of solidarity, where people from 192 countries and territories came together in support of people and our planet.)

Check out what events are going on when you are there by visiting the Gardens By The Bay website.

Overall, a spectacle not to miss and one of top things to do in Singapore. So if you can plan one of your nights around the Gardens By The Bay Light Show, we highly recommend it!
