Chingay Parade 2020 was one of our last major events before COVID-19 brought large gatherings to a halt. One year later, we still can’t hold the usual street parade. But obstacles can also be opportunities to try something new!
I was among 150 guests who watched Chingay 2021, our first-ever Digital Chingay, at the Mediacorp theatre last night. Many more tuned in on TV or via the internet. Chingay Parades of years past may have featured fancy floats and large contingents of performers. But this year’s format was refreshing and original, including more performances by members of the community, and friends from ASEAN! I applaud the People’s Association on a captivating reimagining of the show!
If you missed it, you can rewatch the show here (another benefit of the new format!): https://fb.watch/3NsWE5h_vs/ What did you think of the Digital Chingay? – LHL
