Macao International Parade celebrates cultural integration
The 2024 Macao International Parade, organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, marked the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to China with a vibrant celebration. Showcasing more than 1,800 performers from 80 local and international groups, the parade embraced the spirit of “Love, Peace, and Cultural Integration.”
Featuring an array of cultural performances, the parade included the participation of 64 local groups and 16 from countries and regions like Brazil, Portugal, France, Spain and Hong Kong. The procession weaved through the Historic Centre of Macao, creating a captivating experience for residents and tourists alike. Along the way, the lively VIVA Carnival at Avenida Panorâmica do Lago Nam Van offered interactive booths, games and workshops, while artists engaged with spectators on Avenida Doutor Stanley Ho. The procession culminated at Sai Van Lake Square, where performances competed for accolades.
Now in its tenth edition, the Macao International Parade has evolved into a significant event commemorating Macao’s return to the motherland, garnering widespread global participation.
