If you've seen the viral post claiming 'no fireworks on certain NDP rehearsal Saturdays' — we checked, and the published schedules say otherwise. NDP 2026's show calendar runs every Saturday at the National Stadium: CR1 (27 Jun) and CR2 (4 Jul) are done, and the NE Shows (11 & 18 Jul), Preview 1 (25 Jul), Preview 2 (1 Aug) and the actual parade (Sun 9 Aug) are all listed with fireworks, fired from the Kallang Basin — NOT Marina Bay this year. Displays start around 7:30pm with the finale roughly 8:10–8:30pm. No ticket needed if you're outside: Stadium Riverside Walk, Tanjong Rhu Promenade and Kallang Riverside Park are the free front-row spots. Full verified schedule, timings, MRT and crowd tips inside — plus the caveat that NDP EXCO can change any of it, so check NDPeeps before you head down.
