Status TBD — The 2026 Lunar New Year programme for Singapore has not been announced as of 2026.
Fireworks · Asia/Singapore
River Hongbao itself (Gardens by the Bay, ~10 days spanning CNY eve through the festival) is a stable 40-year annual tradition. However, its fireworks component is NOT reliably annual: 2026 marked the first return of real launched fireworks since 2020 — the years 2021-2025 featured firecracker shows only, no pyrotechnic launch. Whether fireworks recur for the 2027 edition (est. mid-Feb 2027, around the Feb 6 LNY anchor) is unconfirmed. Do not assume automatic recurrence.
