Gardens by the Bay Chief Executive Officer Mr. Felix Loh said “2020 has been a long and tiring year for everyone. We made the decision in July to proceed with this Christmas tradition without sight of what December would be like in the hope of spreading some cheer during the holiday season. We seek our visitors’ understanding of the need for safe management measures such as the reduced capacity, timed entry and one-directional routing, but nonetheless I believe Walk of Lights with the signature Luminarie light installations will still bring much festive joy to lift our spirits.”

Executive Director of Blue Sky Events Pte Ltd Mr. Kevin Soh said “Although the Walk of Lights is just an element of what a normal Christmas Wonderland would have been, we are delighted to be able to present the best of both worlds to the community this year, physically and online. Visitors can still enjoy the light installations onsite, but if they are missing the shopping, games, and even the ever popular opportunity to meet Santa, they can head online to Virtual Christmas Wonderland from the comfort of their home.”
