National Day of Singapore is celebrated on 9th August every year to commemorate Singapore’s independence from Malaysia in 1965. That’s why the day is popularly called Singapore Independence Day. It is a national ceremony that features a National Day parade, an address by the Prime Minister of Singapore and fireworks celebration. The parade includes performances that portray the yearly theme. Rehearsals for the occasion begin three to four months in advance with preview shows on two weekends leading to the celebration.
