From local buffets piled high with every dish you love, to fireworks views, durian feasts and a Brazilian brunch with laksa-leaf cocktails, here is how to mark Singapore’s 61st birthday properly.
National Day Singapore 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most delicious on record. Want Hokkien prawn noodle and oyster omelette at a lavish buffet? Or perhaps a rooftop BBQ with front-row views of the fireworks. Maybe you’re in the mood for a Peranakan bonbon at a 52nd-floor brunch with SAMBA dancers. The options this August are endless.
We have gone through the best of what is on offer so you do not have to. Here is where to book your table for Singapore’s birthday.
