What is Chingay Parade?
The Chingay Parade is a large-scale street parade celebrating Singapore's Chinese New Year.
The name “Chingay” originates from the Mandarin term “妆艺 (zhuangyi)”,
meaning “the art of splendid costumes and masquerade”.
In 1973, following the banning of firecrackers—a traditional Lunar New Year custom—for safety reasons,
it was established under the People's Association (PA) as a new celebratory event to replace them.
Today, it is cherished by many people both here at home and abroad as an annual festival symbolising Singapore, where multiple ethnicities and cultures come together.
Relationship between JAS and the Chingay Parade
The Japanese Association, Singapore (JAS) has participated in the Chingay Parade since 2003,
promoting Japan's appeal to the world through dance, expression, and teamwork.
Chingay also serves as a vital platform for cultural exchange, bridging Japanese and Singaporean cultures.
JAS will once again perform on stage at this year's Chingay Parade.
We would be delighted if more people could learn about us and show their support.
