The Chingay has become a uniquely Singaporean Lunar New Year tradition, held during the first weekend of the Lunar New Year. The theme for this year’s event was “Lights of Legacy”. This national event is also the largest street performance and float parade in Asia. From the main parade site to the heartlands, the street extravaganza epitomizes the dynamism of Singapore's vibrant and multicultural society. Performances included vibrant floats, dancing dragons, prancing lions, stilt walkers, wushu masters and performers of different nationalities in traditional costumes. The giant 66-metre flying LED dragon was by 10 performers from China’s Shaanxi province.
