Watch: 2020 National Day message and morning parade

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, tributes to frontline and essential workers featured heavily in the parade. The event is a smaller affair, split into morning and evening segments and with fewer than 300 participants for each portion.

Traditional favourites for the parade such as the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) flypast involving F-15SG fighter planes, the state flag flypast and the mobile column made their way through the heartlands so people could catch a glimpse of them in their neighbourhoods as well.

The evening's events will be capped off with fireworks in several locations: Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Buona Vista, Jurong Lake Gardens, Marina Reservoir, Punggol, Sembawang, Tampines, Woodlands and Yew Tee.
