Macau has been holding an annual parade since 2011 every year
on the 6th of December. Different teams from around the world are invited along
with local elite artistes to the annual performance, led by Macau residents and
tourists in the heart of Macau’s Quest adventures, interspersed with the
historical city streets,

singing and dancing along with the public, to show
Macau’s unique cultural features. As a cultural integration of the city
atmosphere, the final stage of the large Symphony finale show is the entire
focus of the parade. There is a staged kaleidoscope full of fantastic,
marvelous, colorful performances, a parade atmosphere which will push to the
highest point, to celebrate this happy day.

 

This year’s Parade
uses a treasure hunt as the story background. VIVA leads the bravest citizens
of the town and abroad and follows the clues provided in a treasure map to
uncover its secrets and conquer a mysterious energy. The Parade’s opening
ceremony takes place at 4pm at Largo da Companhia de Jesus.


Together with the
performing groups from Latin-speaking countries and other foreign regions,
local talents begin the extraordinary treasure hunt journey. The route is same
as last year’s, beginning from the Ruins of St. Paul’s and coming to final
destination at 5:30pm at Tap Seac Square to celebrate the handover with a
festive and carnival atmosphere. This year, the organizer will set up two
ascending seating areas at Tap Seac Square for the audience, so the public can
watch the performances clearly and comfortably.

 
 The parade is one of
the major events in celebration of Macau’s handover to China and has already
become one of the city’s trademark festive events since its first edition in
2011. The Parade further features a series of related activities, including a
photography contest and social media games with prizes. They will be progressively
announced and will be open for the public to participate. It is organized by
the Cultural Affairs Bureau and is co-organized by the Macau Government Tourist
Office.
