The opening ceremony will be held at 6pm on 20 April (Thursday). All are welcome to participate and enjoy the cultural and creative feast.

The number of stalls has significantly increased in this Craft Market, and creative stalls from Hong Kong have also been introduced. The event features over 220 handicraft and creative gastronomy stalls by cultural and creative entities from Macao, Mainland China and Hong Kong each week, showcasing and selling a diverse range of original products including daily necessities, clothing and accessories, handicrafts, as well as natural and handmade products. Meanwhile, 47 music performances by singers from Macao and Mainland China as well as creative gastronomy stalls are held.

In addition, 52 creative handicraft workshops will be held during the event. Successful applicants are advised to attend the workshops on time. Those who arrive 10 minutes after the workshop starts will lose their place and will be replaced by on-site applicants on the waiting list, and their registration fees will not be refunded. The organiser will distribute tickets to on-site applicants 30 minutes before each workshop starts, and members of the public may arrive earlier for a place on the waiting list. Any latecomers to the workshops will be replaced by on-site applicants on the waiting list accordingly, and the on-site applicants will have to make the registration and pay an application fee of MOP50 for each workshop on-site.
