ABOUT THIS FESTIVAL

Macao, a Theme Park of Sino-Portuguese Cultural Encounter

Founded in 2018, the “Encounter in Macao – Arts and Cultural Festival between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries”, stepping into its 4th edition, has established itself as an attractive annual event, forming a mechanism for regular exchange between China and Portuguese-speaking countries in Macao, and continuously reinforcing the establishment of Macao as a “Cultural Exchange Centre between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries”.

The Lusofonia Festival will once again be integrated in the 4th “Arts and Cultural Festival between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries”, bringing a strong Sino-Portuguese festive atmosphere in the Taipa Houses in late October. In addition to various stands, culinary delights, music and dance performances will also be presented, in celebration of the silver jubilee of the Lusofonia Festival. With the concept of “theme park” adapted to this year’s Festival, diverse activities associated with the theme including the Chinese and Portuguese Picture Book Fair, outdoor film screenings and a wine tasting will be held at various venues, attracting the participation of residents and tourists, enriching the cultural experience and building the city into a theme park of Sino-Portuguese cultural encounter. In November, the “Traditional Music and Dance Performance in the Community” and the “China and Portuguese-speaking Countries Film Festival” will be held in different districts of Macao, in an effort to integrate art into our daily lives and share the splendid moment of Sino-Portuguese cultural exchange.

Taking culture as link and art as the medium, let’s meet at the Arts and Cultural Festival between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries this autumn.
