Make a guess, what is the name of the annual street parade that is held in Singapore, as part of the Chinese New Year festival?
That's right, it is non other than CHINGAY!
Chingay is the art of costume and masquerade and it hails from Penang. Singapore held it's first Chingay in 1973 and hence it is spread to other parts of Asia. Ever since the first parade which is held, it became a permanent festival that is held annually. The parade grew more interestingly each year, nevertheless the upcoming Chingay will not be a disappointment.
Chingay has been witnessed by many Singaporeans from all walks of life and has successfully attracted tourists from all over the world to join this magnificent event!! The parade is a multi racial festival whereby the performers are ranging from students to senior citizens all of whom are volunteers. Hardwork and sweat has been put together to make this event a success.
Next year, Chingay 2010 will be held on 19th & 20th February in the vincinity of Orchard Road. So what makes Chingay 2010 special? These are the highlights that are not to be missed.
