At Jewel Changi Airport, the famous "Light & Music Showcase" at the HSBC Rain Vortex typically takes place nightly at 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM. On Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, an additional show is often added at 10:00 PM. Each performance lasts about five minutes, during which the world’s tallest indoor waterfall is transformed by stunning light projections and a synchronized musical score. In early 2026, particularly during festive periods like the Lunar New Year, the operating hours of the Jewel Rain Vortex are often extended until 12:00 AM to accommodate the surge in travelers and visitors. For the best experience, spectators usually gather on the tiered seating around the Forest Valley or watch from the higher vantage points on Levels 2 through 5. Because Jewel is located in the public area of the airport, the light show is free and accessible to both transit passengers and local residents. It remains one of Singapore's most photographed attractions, combining high-tech engineering with the serene beauty of the surrounding indoor greenery.
