Singapore praised its first National Day as a free country in 1966, one year after Singapore's division from Malaysia on 9 August 1965.

The primary National Day Parade began in the morning at 9:00 a.m. that day. Individuals came as right on time as 7:00 a.m. with a specific end goal to get great vantage focuses. Singapore's first President, Mr Yusof canister Ishak and Singapore's first Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, were situated with individuals from the legislature at the show off on the progressions of City Hall. At the point when the parade started, 6 military contingents (counting the Singapore Infantry Regiment, SPDF and the then Republic of Singapore Police), a portable segment from the SIR, and different schools and common contingents walked past City Hall and afterward into the city avenues. Three military groups went with the parade examination and later the walk past with military music. The Singapore Fire Brigade likewise partook in this first parade with its firetrucks incorporated into the portable section. Adjusting everything was a massed lion and mythical beast move execution from drum and winged serpent troupes across the nation.

The next year, the contingents expanded to 76, including those of the then settled Singapore Armed Forces, the RSP and more social gatherings, with the expansion of more considerate walking bunches. The reason is halfway because of the presentation of the National Service program in the military and police powers, and later stretched out to the Fire Brigade, later called the Singapore Fire Services in the 1970s. Road exhibitions by different gatherings additionally appeared in that year's parade. The 1968 version, albeit hung on a stormy morning that astonished even the walking contingents and the dignitaries, saw the main ground exhibitions on the Padang as the climate enhanced - a prelude to today's show exhibitions. 1969's parade, the one where the Mobile Column made its first drivepast, remembered the 150th year of the city's establishing and had Princess Alexandra of the UK as foremost visitor.

On the August 9, 1970 NDP release, the Flypast of the State Flag and the Republic of Singapore Air Force Flypast appeared. A battle recreation execution by Singapore Army staff was one of the new highlights for that year.

The 1971 NDP was the first to incorporate the famous portable parade drifts from different associations. Choirs likewise appeared on that year's release.

When the NDP was held at the National Stadium (surprisingly) in 1976, the NDP Guard of Honor, made out of officers and faculty of the SAF and the Singapore Police Force showed up, trailed the parade legitimate by the primary night presentations by different gatherings, a prelude to future night NDPs in 1980 and from 1984 forward. 1977's parade was a decentralized occasion like two years before (and like 1968's was damped by the downpour) while 1978 would see the parade back at the Padang grounds. 1979's parade was yet another decentralized one, held in a few secondary schools and games stadiums across the country.

The 1980 parade, held at the National Stadium, practically rained toward the begin, yet the exhibitions went ahead as arranged as the climate enhanced later. This was the primary parade in which the feu de joie of the Guard-of-Honor contingents showed up. 1981's NDP was the main parade appearance of the then SPF Civil Defense Command, in the blink of an eye the Singapore Civil Defense Force, later consolidated with the SFS in 1989. (The SCDF of today showed itself without precedent for the 1982 NDP held in the Padang.) They were held in two decentralized venues, Jurong and Queenstown Sports Stadiums for further expand open participation and cooperation in the festivals. 1982's parade, back at the Padang site, highlighted more contingents and surprisingly the portable segment drove past after the marchpast had finished up, in this way making it a forerunner to the parades at the Padang from 1995 ahead (at regular intervals).

1983 would be the last year that the NDP was held in numerous venues.

The 1984 NDP, now back at the Padang, observed Singapore's Silver Jubilee of self-administration and incorporated a greater Mobile Column, the principal appearance of the mainstream Silent Precision Drill Squad from the Singapore Armed Forces Military Police Command and the primary genuine night firecrackers show (in addition to the introduction of the principal NDP signature melody) while NDP 1985 commended the country's twentieth year with more members in the parade fragment and in the show legitimate. The 1986 release was the primary genuine night version of the parade, and the first to utilize electric lamps for gathering of people use. 1987's parade, held at the Padang, was the primary continually evening occasion held there and highlighted the principal appearance of the massed military groups of the SAF. 1988 saw the card stunt highlight being utilized surprisingly amid the National Stadium occasion and the 1989 version, the main National Stadium daytime occasion, saw the introduction of the broadly renowned Red Lions parachute group and the light firecrackers after 1966. The parade came back to the Padang in 1990 to respect the country's silver celebration year, which would end up being the last evening occasion ever to be held.

In 1997, surprisingly, there was a National Education Show, where Primary 5 understudies watch NDP practices.

The administration set up the electronic voting ticketing framework in 2003 so as to handle the issue of congestion. Such ticketing framework empowers nationals to stand a chance at winning the tickets by enrolling their email locations or versatile numbers at the NDP site or phonelines.

Beginning 2008, the NDP is additionally circulated everywhere throughout the Asia-Pacific district through Channel NewsAsia.

2009's NDP was the main ever release to have an incorporated show including the parade portion.

In 2014 Third Warrant Officer Shirley Ng turned into the primary female Red Lion parachutist to seize the NDP.[1][2]

2015's parade, even as all was gotten ready for the parade to be at the Padang, will be the primary ever parade to be held both there and at the Float at Marina Bay, softening a parade convention up the procedure. NDP 2015 is the primary National Day Parade without the establishing pioneer Lee Kuan Yew, who never missed a solitary National Day Parade subsequent to 1966, for whom he had passed on 23 March 2015, inside 8 months in the wake of going to the 2014 edition.The venue of the parade is ordinarily at the authentic grounds of the Padang, where the presentation of Singapore's autonomy was held. Since the principal parade in 1966, the distance to 1975, the venue was situated in this focal zone to convey the parade nearer to the general population. In 1976, the parade was held surprisingly at the recently finished National Stadium, where the much bigger limit took into account more to view the parade live.

Despite the fact that offering around 60,000 seats in the National Stadium, the interest for tickets stayed high. Consequently there were a few endeavors to decentralize the venue to convey the festival nearer to more Singaporeans. From 1975 to 1983, festivals were substituted between a decentralized occasion and one focused at the Padang or stadium. From 1984, the parade was held twice at the stadium before being taken back to the Padang. This three-year cycle was rehashed up to 1994.

From 1995, it was chosen that the Padang would be utilized as the venue at regular intervals. The Padang, albeit generally essential, represented a more noteworthy logistical test furthermore offered less seats for observers. The occasion and practices additionally required the end of encompassing streets. There was a need to develop makeshift observer remains around the field. The site remained, be that as it may, the main achievable venue for the portable segment, as the substantial vehicles couldn't be driven onto the stadium track. The Padang was utilized as the principle execution venue for the 2005 parade, with periphery exercises decentralized to Marina South, Jurong East, Yishun and Tampines.

A few substitute areas were mooted, including the use of the Padang, which is physically greater and more averse to upset every day capacities in the city.Beginning from 1998, an exceptional logo configuration was chosen to speak to NDP on all fronts. Despite the fact that there had been logos for some earlier years' parades, these were just for a considerable length of time of unique remembrance, for example, 25th commemoration of Nation Building (1984) and the Silver Jubilee in 1990. For every single other year's National Day festivities, trademarks have been utilized. A case of this is "Our Singapore, Our Future" that was initially utilized as a part of the 1997 festivals.

With the presentation of a NDP logo for 1998, each NDP logo from this time forward would be intended to suit the topics, specifically the establishment subject, of the parade. Likewise, a slogan, which was beforehand known as a motto, would be added to the logo outline. For instance, the slogan for NDP 2005 was "The Future is Ours to Make". These slogans are normally taken from past National Day Rallies with the end goal of arousing the country together on 9 August to meet the difficulties ahead. The slogan "Together We Make The Difference" was acquainted in 1999 due with the dispatch of the Singapore 21 extend, and was supplanted by "Together, A New Singapore" in 2002 when then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong proposed the "Changing Singapore" activity in the National Day Rally 2001.

In the logo of NDP 2007, Blue has assumed control over the conventional red to symbolize the water around the Marina Bay region.

Be that as it may, note that the subjects and slogans are to a great extent diverse; and the topic the parade or S.
