The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional event celebrated in Macao and was inscribed on the Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Macao in 2020. It is a local custom to use moxa grass, calamus and other insect-repelling plants during the Dragon Boat Festival. In the workshop, participants will learn how to make simple dragon boat sachets (containing moxa grass and lavender), thus gaining experience in traditional customs practiced during the Dragon Boat Festival.
