Organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC, from the Portuguese acronym), the Tap Siac Craft Market in autumn will continue to be held from 24 to 27 November (Thursday to Sunday) at Tap Siac Square, featuring a new and vast array of cultural and creative brands. The public is welcome to visit and enjoy the creative atmosphere while shopping for cultural and creative products.
This edition of the Tap Siac Craft Market features over 100 handicraft and creative gastronomy stalls operated by cultural and creative practitioners from Macao and Mainland China . More than 90% of the cultural and creative brands are different from last week, among which some are Macao’s well-known intellectual property and design brands which contain elements of the local cultural heritage, including daily necessities, clothing and accessories, handicrafts, as well as natural and handmade products. Moreover, there will be creative handicraft workshops and music performances by singers from Macao and Mainland China. Residents and tourists are welcome to visit and shop at the Tap Siac Craft Market.
