The take
Light, water and music over Marina Bay, free and about 15 minutes long. We'd stand at the front of Event Plaza by the water. If you'd rather sit with a drink, the al fresco tables at Le Noir and Dallas Cafe & Bar look onto the show.

Before you go
Which Bayfront MRT exit is nearest Spectra?
Take Exit C or D from Bayfront MRT, which Marina Bay Sands lists as a 4-minute walk to the Event Plaza, with the waterfront promenade 3 minutes away. Exit B leads to Gardens by the Bay instead. The show is a free, 15-minute display over the water at the Event Plaza.

Can I watch Spectra from a restaurant table?
Only from selected restaurants, and only if you sit al fresco, since Spectra is an outdoor show. Le Noir (#01-84) and Dallas Cafe & Bar (#01-85) are the two it names. For a free view, we'd stand near the front of the Event Plaza by the water, because the show is free and open to all.

Can I take the MRT home after the last Spectra show?
Yes, Bayfront MRT runs daily from about 6am to midnight, and the last Spectra show, at 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays, lasts about 15 minutes. On Sunday to Thursday the last show is at 9pm. The Event Plaza is a short walk from the station exits, so there is well over an hour of margin.
