SINGAPORE – A silent disco, live concerts and a “paw-ty” for pets are among events residents in the heartland can usher 2024 in with.

The People’s Association (PA) said on Dec 22 that 28 community celebrations around the island, organised by its grassroots organisations, are expected to bring together some 70,000 residents as 2023 comes to a close.

In Bedok, for example, up to 1,500 residents from East Coast and Kampong Chai Chee will take part in a silent disco – dancing to their preferred music while donning colourful LED headsets – at Heartbeat@Bedok on New Year’s Eve, in an attempt to enter the Singapore Book of Records for “largest silent disco”.

Celebrations for Punggol residents on New Year’s Eve begin at 2pm with a carnival for families, which will be followed by performances by artistes including Taufik Batisah in the evening, before a laser and light show welcomes 2024.

In Farrer-Leedon, the growing pet-owner community can look forward to a party with their furry friends on Dec 30.

It will include grooming sessions, obedience training and an obstacle course for the quadrupeds to showcase their agility, as well as a best-dressed competition where they can show off their personalities and styles.

For those keen to catch fireworks over the heartland on New Year’s Eve, PA said seven locations have set up displays.
