Singapore :  3m tall inflatable unicorns and green toy soldier mascots roaming around, interactive LED light installations, interlocking play block structures and just good live music were among the highlights for party goers who attended the Clarke Quay Countdown Block Party. The theme for 2018 was PLAY and there was plenty of it for some 30,000 revellers at Singapore’s top entertainment and food & beverage destination.

The free admission Countdown Block Party anchored by Singapore’s 987FM radio DJs Gerald Koh and Kimberly Wong together with local band Shirlyn + the UnXpected, reached a feverish pitch when the party-goers thronged the Fountain Square to join in the 60 second countdown to 2019. At midnight, colourful confetti showered into the air followed by the singing of Auld Lang Syne to officially herald New Year’s day in Clarke Quay.

The moment, celebrated together with everyone at the Fountain Square and in restaurants, bars and clubs in Clarke Quay wrapped up Clarke Quay’s year round-round parties and festivals for 2018. “It’s been a brilliant year for us as we look forward to more wining, dining and good times in 2019,” said Adrian Lai, Centre Manager, Clarke Quay.
