"Today is a good day for singing a song."

"Today is a good day for singing a song."

Can I also say, "Today is a good day to sing a song." for the same meaning? Thank you a million for the help.

Klingons have been known to say:
"Today is a good day to die!"

I might also look at the cloud-free sky and say:
"Today is a good day for sailing."

The second talks about the conditions being good.
I would say the first is more about one's own judgement or will.

The gerund version is not grammatically wrong, but not idiomatically common either .

As far as your question goes, stick with " to sing ".
