Singapore’s Marina Bay is set to captivate locals and tourists alike with a breathtaking drone show titled “The Legend of the Dragon Gate.” This event, specially organized to celebrate the Lunar New Year and the auspicious Year of the Dragon, promises an unforgettable spectacle of technology and storytelling.
The Legend Comes to Life
The show will feature 1,500 drones intricately choreographed to illuminate the night sky, creating the majestic form of the mythical Dragon King. This narrative draws from the ancient Chinese legend of the dragon gate, symbolizing perseverance, transformation, and auspiciousness. The drones will paint this vivid tale across the backdrop of Marina Bay, offering a modern twist on traditional Lunar New Year themes.
Show Schedule and Highlights
Scheduled to run for six nights in February—on the 6th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, and 18th—the 10-minute performances will commence at 8 pm. Each show is carefully designed to weave a story that resonates with the values of family, reunion, and the pursuit of excellence, making it a meaningful experience to usher in the new lunar year.
More Than Just a Drone Show
Following the drone spectacle, attendees will be treated to “Spectra – A Light & Water Show,” starting at 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm on the same dates. This complimentary show is set to mesmerize the audience with its symphony of fountain jets, vibrant projections, lasers, and special effects, all harmonized with an orchestral soundtrack.
