River Hongbao has become an integral part of Singapore’s Lunar New Year celebrations, for Singaporean families and tourists with over a million people are expected to attend.
The festival features larger-than life lanterns created on-site by craftsmen from the Sichuan province in China.
The festival also features handcrafts and stage performances and of course food vendors. Carnival rides and games are also featured for children to spend their Hong Bao (red packets) money on.
