SPARK is far more than just an ordinary light show. It's an artistic masterpiece curated by renowned Dutch artist, Daan Roosegaarde. The inspiration for this unique creation comes directly from the natural beauty of twinkling fireflies and the glittering stars in the night sky. Forget loud, booming fireworks; SPARK presents thousands of glowing sparks that float and move with remarkable serenity. What's even more impressive is that these luminous elements are made from biodegradable materials, aligning with a mindful approach to celebration.

Beyond its visual appeal, SPARK carries a deeper message. It's an invitation for everyone to come together and celebrate Singapore's 60th milestone in new, meaningful ways. This captivating show is a collaboration between Gardens by the Bay, IMBA, H&B, and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Singapore. SPARK stands as a beautiful symbol of 60 years of strong bilateral ties between the Netherlands and Singapore, with additional support from GIC.

A Special Opportunity for Muslim Visitors

For Muslim travelers visiting Singapore, SPARK offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a beautiful evening in a family-friendly environment. The show's gentle, quiet nature provides a serene atmosphere perfect for reflection and appreciating artistry. You can enjoy the spectacle without the loud noises often associated with traditional fireworks, making it comfortable for all ages. It's a chance to create cherished memories with loved ones amidst a backdrop of breathtaking beauty.
