Usher in the auspicious year of the horse with CapitaLand malls’ spectacular Carousel of Prosperity

Singapore, January 27, 2026 -- As the Year of the Fire Horse gallops closer, CapitaLand invites shoppers to celebrate Chinese New Year through a thoughtfully curated experience where time-honoured traditions are reimagined with a fresh, contemporary twist. Charging ahead with festive joy and a spirit of renewal, CapitaLand is proud to present the Carousel of Prosperity at CapitaLand Malls — a dazzling Chinese New Year installation making its first stop at Funan (L1 Atrium) from 22 January to 8 February, before trotting over to Westgate (L1 Courtyard) from 9 to 22 February.

Shining the spotlight on a striking rotating horse carousel, the Carousel of Prosperity comes to life with mesmerising Chinese New Year decor and photo-worthy zones designed to make sure everyone has plenty of cheerful moments and wonderful memories to capture. As the celebration unfolds across the campaign period, shoppers can also look forward to a trove of rewarding CapitaStar experiences, festive performances, and celebratory activities — all coming together to usher in prosperity, blessings, and auspicious beginnings for the year ahead.

A PLAYFUL ODE TO CHINESE NEW YEAR: CAROUSEL OF PROSPERITY

The Carousel of Prosperity presents a visually rich festive installation that captures the energy and optimism of the Year of the Fire Horse. Featuring horses in bold shades of red, green, blue, and yellow, the carousel captivates with its sense of motion and colour.
