The Macau Cultural Fest will be staged on 17 and 18 May at the Lisboeta, according to a social media post from the hotel. Billed as a celebration of the diverse cultures of Portuguese-speaking countries through food, drinks, live music, crafts and workshops, the family-friendly and pet-friendly festival will feature twelve local businesses with Portuguese roots.
Among them are Old Taipa Village favorites like Lotus Cocktails and Macalhau. Festival goers can also indulge in Portuguese-inspired street food, from pastel de bacalhau to the chunky Portuguese sandwiches known as bifana.
There’s plenty to keep attendees of all ages entertained. Music will be a highlight of the festival, with performances by local buskers and DJs.
