The Singapore National Day Parade 2015, also known as NDP 2015, was a national parade and ceremony that had been held on 9 August 2015 in commemoration of Singapore's 50th year of independence. The Parade returns to the Padang, where the first NDP was held in 1966. Besides the Padang, there is a second ticketed site at The Float@Marina Bay. For the first time since 1969, foreign Heads of State and Heads of Government will attend the parade. It is also the first time that the NDP will be presented without former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, since his death on 23 March 2015.
