The annual National Day Parade is scheduled to take place on 9 August at the iconic Padang, and expects to draw a live audience of 27,000 people. The parade will feature various segments, including the state flag flypast, presidential gun salute, enhanced aerial display, a marching contingent, floats and assets from the Singapore Armed Forces, and concert performances by local artists, dancers and musicians.

Over 2,580 square metres of TrackGard^® (robust portable flooring for temporary access and ground protection) was deployed within the vicinities to create temporary event areas and pedestrian pathways.

The hexagonal design of each TrackGard^® tile allows for interlocking supports on all six sides to provide excellent strength and durability for heavy foot traffic. The non-slip surface of TrackGard^® prevent accidental slipping due to wet floor conditions brought about by the rain and provide a mud-free walkway for spectators, event crew and performers.
