The display will feature high-altitude waterfall effects, double-layered cloud formations and falling colour sequences, forming overlapping visual patterns. The presentation is structured around themes linked to Chinese New Year traditions.
The themed sequences include representations of wealth and fulfilment, “Heaven and Earth Rejoice in Spring” to mark New Year harmony, and “Good Luck in the Year of the Horse” in reference to the 2026 zodiac sign.
The finale will include brocade crown formations inspired by “Golden Jade Full Hall”, a symbol associated with prosperity, abundance and good fortune in Chinese culture.

As we welcome the Year of the Horse, this celebration reflects our commitment to fostering cultural exchange and creating memorable experiences for the entire community to enjoy,” Donald Bremner, CEO of Marjan Lifestyle said in a statement.
