To be held on December 6, the annual event will also coincide with the 16th anniversary of Macau’s handover to China with a focus on peace, love and cultural integration.
The annual and internationally supported Macau Marathon takes place earlier in the day, making it an ideal day for visitors to Hong Kong to take the trip across the waters to Macau.
The giant parade, which will weave from the steps of the Ruins of St Paul’s to Tap Seac Square of this former Portuguese enclave, is one of the major events in the celebration of Macao’s handover to China in 1999.
The 2015 parade will be dedicated to a treasure hunt storyline with participants following clues provided on a map.
The route will culminate with a carnival atmosphere at Tap Seac Square around 5.30pm to celebrate the handover. This year, two ascending seating areas will be set up at the square for the public to better view the performances.
