ABOUT THIS FESTIVAL

Sino-Portuguese Cultural Encounter in Music and Dance

Entering its sixth edition, the event “Encounter in Macao – Arts and Cultural Festival between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries” unleashes the charm of Macao as a city of Sino-Portuguese cultural and artistic encounter and constantly furthers Macao’ as a “Cultural Exchange Centre between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries” through the annual exchange, taking culture as link and the arts as the medium.

The 6^th “Arts and Cultural Festival between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries” will present nearly 70 sessions of activities in seven series, with the “Lusofonia Festival” to be held concurrently for two consecutive weeks, as well as a variety of activities, including a Sino-Portuguese arts exhibition, a picture book fair, a traditional music and dance performance in the community, a film festival, a concert, and a wine tasting workshop, which will be held at different venues such as historic cultural heritage buildings, residential neighbourhoods and modern theatres, giving play to the kaleidoscopic integration of cultures from different regions.

The long-standing friendship between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries remains strong as always. On the occasion of the “Encounter in Macao”, let us experience the cultural integration between these countries and jointly facilitate exchange and mutual learning among these civilisations while immersing ourselves in music and dance to create a better world.
