Students from uniformed organisations such as the Girl Guides, Scouts, and Cadet Corps also join in the procession. Adding to the spectacle, the Singapore Air Force presents a captivating flyover with a display of numerous military aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year since 1966, the Prime Minister of Singapore records a National Day Message, which is delivered on the eve of National Day. The message covers domestic and global developments, economic performance and outlook, national priorities, and government plans. Following the address, a fireworks display accompanies the festivities, choir performances, school band shows, and other entertaining presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although National Day is observed on August 9th annually, preparations and rehearsals start around 3 to 4 months ahead of time, with preview shows commencing approximately two weeks earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recommended article:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/singapore-housing-fun-facts\/\"> 10 fun facts about Singapore&#8217;s housing this National Day<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Singapore National Day?
