Celebrating CNY in Singapore
Chinatown lights up with festive markets and street decorations from mid-January, the Chingay Parade and River Hongbao follow the new year, and families gather for reunion dinner on the eve (Friday February 5). Expect malls and hawker centres to close early on the eve and many shops to shut on the first two days.
Take Friday February 5 off (many employers grant a half-day on the eve) and the break stretches to four days. Singapore’s CNY dates match mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Vietnam’s Tet in 2027 — all on February 6. See the Singapore 2027 page for the full 11-holiday calendar.
