This year’s River Hongbao, an extravaganza of lights, sights and sounds to usher in the Year of the Pig, drew 1.35 million visitors from 3 to 10 Feb.
Over the eight days, the event was well attended by locals as well as foreign visitors, many of them thrilled to experience a cultural-themed extravaganza, which was launched by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Float @ Marina Bay on 3 Feb.
The finale, themed Harmony Night, attracted a large crowd that included Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
Mr Ang Wei Neng, Chairman of the River Hongbao organising committee, who is an MP for Jurong GRC, said that the hard work of organising the event paid off.
“What is most satisfying is when I walk around and talk to people, I see many first-time visitors who say they want to return next year, and the happy faces of young children, teenagers, young adults, parents and grandparents, as well as a diverse array of visitors from different countries. It makes it all worth it.”
