Get ready for a spectacular festive celebration this holiday season as the World Christmas Market Singapore transforms The Promontory at Marina Bay into a dazzling winter wonderland. From 5 to 25 December 2024, this 21-day extravaganza promises interactive experiences, heartwarming traditions, and a celebration of community and sustainability.
A Festive Wonderland Awaits
The Promontory will come alive with twinkling lights, majestic Christmas trees, and the sounds of carols. The market’s carefully curated stalls offer a treasure trove of handcrafted gifts, artisanal treats, and gourmet delights. Adding a touch of magic, the children’s area inspired by Nikolausdorf (Saint Nicholas’ Village) invites families to bond over cookie decorating workshops, storytelling, and whimsical rides.
This year’s event, presented by DareDreamer—Oceanus Media Global’s brand experience division—celebrates the true essence of Christmas. “We’ve crafted an experience that encapsulates the joy, warmth, and generosity of Christmas, bringing people together to create lasting memories,” says Nick GC Tan, CEO of Oceanus Media Global.

A Celebration of Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of this year’s market.

Gorental SG, a green energy partner, estimates that the market will save up to 7.2 tonnes of carbon emissions, showcasing a commitment to Singapore’s Green Plan 2030.
Giving Back to the Community
