Radiant festive lanterns and over 1,000 gifts to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival

As the occupancy of Macau New Neighbourhood continues to rise, the community is enjoying an increasingly lively atmosphere. To create a warm, joyful festive ambience, the event site will be transformed into a lantern carnival complete with themed photo spots. Visitors will be welcomed at the entrance by a dazzling Mid-Autumn lantern archway, accompanied by giant moon and Jade Rabbit installations that will transport visitors into a fairy-tale moonlight world. Visitors can capture picture-perfect moments filled with holiday spirit, whether they are coming with family or friends.

On the event day, visitors who check in at the site and share their experience on social media can receive a practical, limited-edition Mid-Autumn gift on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last!

Rolling lantern dance and live GBA band performances to ignite festival passion

The event will put on back-to-back performances by two bands from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA): “Single Path” from Macao and “Zhuhai Shell Band” from Zhuhai. Their vibrant vocals will bring the occasion an energetic tone. Macau New Neighbourhood will also present the traditional “rolling lantern dance”, a folk dance combining choreography with traditional skills. Dressed in Hanfu and carrying colourful lanterns, the dancers will gracefully perform to ancient melodies throughout the community, lighting up every corner and sharing joyful blessings with all residents for a festive Mid-Autumn night.
