Festive fun fills the air at Macao Winter Carnival

The 3rd Macao Winter Carnival is on now and ends on 27 December

Snow, game booths and lots of fun are on offer at the 3rd Macao Winter Carnival. The event runs until 27 December and is situated adjacent to Macau Tower. Featured this year is an outdoor, artificial snow park where visitors can experience the ambience of a white winter.

The carnival features attractions for families – including a Snow Zone, Kid World and game booths – and is open Friday to Sunday and public holidays, from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Admission to the venue is free. Fees apply to enter the Snow Zone and Kid World, and to play games at game booths.

This year’s carnival is themed “Let’s Build a Healthy City and Present the Dynamic of Tourism”. Organisers expect the winter extravaganza will help reinvigorate tourism activities and play a part in the city’s economic recovery.

The first two editions of Macao Winter Carnival each attracted more than 100,000 participants. 

The carnival is co-organised by Macau International Carnival Association, Macau Travel Agency Association and Macao Creative Industry Association. The event began on 12 November.

The organisers have taken a number of measures to prevent any possible spread of COVID-19 at the event, following relevant guidelines from the Macao SAR Government Health Bureau. That includes requirements for visitors and staff to wear protective face masks, to have their temperature taken, show a valid Macao Health Code to enter the venue, and to comply with minimum social distancing measures.
