Bringing more buzz to the Orchard Road, Singapore, two Christmas markets with countdown parties made their debut from the 9th to the 30th of December 2017.

Converting 50,000 sq. ft. Grange Road open-air car park into a neon-lit party by night and creative market by day, this European inspired Christmas village featured nightly performances, outdoor shopping, two-storey carousel and a countdown concert on Christmas Eve. Many travellers stayed in 5 star hotels in Orchard Road Singapore, which provided close proximity to the Christmas market, the likes of Grand Park Orchard.

2.88km of lights were turned on to mark the beginning of the season and many got to ride on open deck Hippo busses provided by Orchard Road Business Association and the Community Chest.
