A flare shoots up before showering in a glorious burst. You squeeze your intertwining fingers and turn to your loved one. Sure to leave you awe-struck, fireworks are all the action of the National Day Parade celebrations. There is something magical about waiting for the special moment. The moment when everything else does not matter.

Here are the best spots to celebrate love under a grand display of light and colours.

1. Gardens by the Bay

Head to the Bay East Garden at Gardens by the Bay, via Marina Barrage for an enchanting night. Your evening will run out of superlatives before you can say "spectacular".
How to get there: Bayfront Station (DT16/CE1)

2. Marina Bay Sands

From Sands Skypark observation deck, watching the sparks fly with the love of your life will simply take your breath away. The view is going to be epic. Or lounge by the world's highest infinity pool as fireworks burst. Either way, it will be a night you will never forget.
How to get there: Bayfront Station (DT16/CE1)

Up on the green roof, you can be up close with the RSAF aerial display performance, catch the fireworks display as well as enjoy a live screening of the Parade.

How to get there: From Marina Bay Station (NS27/CE2) and Downtown Station (DT17): Take bus 400 at Marina Bay Financial Centre along Marina Boulevard

If the location allows for it, go down a bit earlier and have a picnic dinner there.  Not only will you be able to secure prime spots, you can also enjoy a nice quiet time together before appreciating the beauty of the night.
