Set against the signature Singapore skyline, 20 Norfolk Pine trees will be placed along the Waterfront Promenade for the first time, transforming the Marina Bay area during the Christmas holiday season. These 10-feet trees, aptly called “ChariTrees”, are jointly brought in by Community Chest and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).


17 organisations have also joined in the project to decorate the trees and make the Christmas atmosphere and festivities even livelier at the Marina Bay area from now to 29 December 2011. More importantly, these big-hearted organisations have not forgotten the less fortunate during this festive season and leveraged on this platform to donate to the beneficiaries under the care of Community Chest.


The ChariTrees, which are fitted with LED lights, will be lit from 19 November 2011 (during the Christmas Light-Up 2011 Switch-On Ceremony) to 29 December 2011 at the following timings:

Sunday to Thursday: 7pm to 12 midnight
Friday to Saturday: 7pm to 2am
24 December 2011: 7pm to 6am
