Also returning is the highly-anticipated Great Christmas Eve Street Party.

With Christmas right around the corner, you can start to look forward to the signature dazzling festive lights and decorations adorning Orchard Road. This year, the iconic Orchard Road Christmas light-up – officially called Christmas On A Great Street – will kick off on Nov 9 with a ceremony officiated by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.

This year’s light-up is themed after a firefly garden and will feature recognisable Christmas elements including stars, bells, fir trees, red cardinal birds perched atop the overstreet decor and arches of pine and holly.

There’ll also be a series of vertical beams of light that mimic the wavelike motion of fireflies.

As you walk down Orchard Road and marvel at the lights, keep an eye out for the 14-metre-tall Christmas tree at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza.

Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza also houses one of the two Great Christmas Villages this year. There’ll be nightly snow shows here at 8pm and 9pm, lasting four minutes each – along with live performances, a Flying Dumbo ride and game booths.
