Christmas Wonderland Officially Opens With Yuletide Festivities And New Immersive Experiences
SINGAPORE, 29 November 2024 – The 11th edition of Christmas Wonderland officially opened today, marking the start of a month of festivities with dazzling new light displays, and festive performances at Gardens by the Bay. Presented by Trip.com, Singapore’s biggest yuletide event will take place from 29 November 2024 to 1 January 2025.
Organised by Blue Sky Events, Christmas Wonderland is a well-loved highlight on the year-end calendar both locally and internationally, with news outlet CNN naming it one of the best Christmas markets in the world.
This year, visitors can look forward to 14 new light installations such as a delightful trio of Merry Bears, enchanted forest at Bluebell Lane, and the mixed media display Odette’s Dance. The experience of ’snowfall’ in the Gardens is more spellbinding than ever, with Blizzard Time featuring for the first time a specially commissioned soundtrack by illustrious Singaporean composer-conductor Dr. Darius Lim.
In addition, visitors will be treated to an expanded entertainment line-up that includes local singer-songwriters, festive flash mobs, and 50% more choral performances than last year. Visitors can also experience the magical splendour of the Northern Lights in the Borealis show, which will take place every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
There is more to look forward to with the return of perennial fan favourites, such as the Spalliera, Walk of Lights tunnel, Garden Rhapsody light and sound show, photo opportunity with Santa Claus at his new home, carnival rides and games, festive dining options with over 20 food and beverage stalls to choose from, and more.
