THE annual Chingay Parade has a new home.

From next year, the assorted stilt-walkers, musicians and other performers who grace the parade will strut their stuff over a 1km route that will begin at the Formula One Pit Building at Marina Bay and end at the Singapore Flyer.

The move marks an end to Chingay's 19-year association with Orchard Road.
