Celebrate the Year of the Snake with Raffles Place Alliance

The Year of the Snake is approaching and huat could be better than time spent with family, friends and cherished workmates!

Ring in the Lunar New Year by celebrating at Raffles Place. With an array of Lunar New Year decorations in the precinct, a limited-time festive workshop, fitness sessions and dozens of deals to enjoy, an abundance of joy, health and prosperity await you in our Central Buzz District.

 

Decorate the Tree of Fortune with our special festive workshops

Get creative this Lunar New Year at Raffles Place Park with a special festive workshop! Happening from 12pm – 2pm on 5 and 6 February, the Park will welcome a special Tree of Fortune adorned with beautiful handmade origami red packets, as well as various symbolic animals.

Draw inspiration from these enchanting displays, or unleash your creativity as you create your own festive crafts: from origami snakes and red packets to intricate origami fish, there is no limit to what you can create. Organised by homegrown art collective PLAY!, visitors to the precinct are invited to make their mark by decorating the Tree of Fortune.

 

Marvel at festive decor that beautifully blends tradition with modernity

While you’re at Raffles Place Park, marvel at our Lunar New Year decor. Beautified with geometric butterfly motifs, our decorations this year consist of festive arches, boxes of good fortune and an archway decorated with over 20,000 shimmering sequins.

In Chinese culture, butterflies symbolise transformation, beauty and hope, which is auspicious and perfect to welcome the new year.

The arches shimmer under the daylight and light up at night, creating a picturesque pathway leading through Raffles Place Park.

A striking centrepiece that stands in Raffles Place Park features a display of the Chinese character “福”, also known as fortune. The display is adorned with mesmerising and vibrant pink and red flowers, symbolising celebration, good luck and happiness for the new year.

Snake your way though the precinct and scan the QR codes located in front of all the installations to complete a digital map of the Raffles Place festive decor. Unlock a lucky surprise on your phone after scanning the 8 installations in the park as well as Ocean Financial Centre, One Raffles Place, Republic Plaza, and Six Battery Road.

 

Set the Tone for a Healthier New Year

Start the Year of the Snake strong with weekly workouts at Raffles Place. From Latin Dance, Salsation, or kickboxing, there’s something for everyone to get moving and energised every weekday! You can even get a quick workout in before gathering for your reunion dinner!

Participants looking to get fit after the Lunar New Year celebrations can sign up and attend the Glowstick Dance Party workouts on 5 and 12 February 2025 to receive a complimentary exercise band, perfect for shredding any extra Chinese New Year calories at home.
