Automobile lovers, look out! 

Five convoys with assets from the Singapore Armed Forces and Home Team will be working their way across Singapore from 11.30am–1pm. This will be its first return since 2020.

Each of the five routes will feature a 90-minute pit stop midway, so that the public can see the vehicles and meet the crew up close. This is the first time that the convoy has been open to the public, so don’t miss this opportunity to experience the Mobile Column right in your neighbourhood!

If you’re partying at the Bishan Heartlands site, look to the sky at 4pm for the Red Lions as they make their descent.

But, that’s not all! 

Finally, from 6pm–6.30pm, watch out for four F-16s fighters as they soar across the sky in a diamond formation. They’ll be making each loop twice as they fly over the Heartlands, so don’t fret if you miss them the first time. 

We’ve made a little map, just for you, of the route that the jets will be taking.
