The first two shows of the “Light up Macao Drone Gala 2022” are slated for tonight with the theme “Spring Rejoice”, starting at 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. above Nam Van Lake, according to a statement yesterday from the Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO).
The shows were originally slated for Sunday and Monday, but were postponed owing to weather constraints.
The statement added that the first show will revolve around Macau, with the designs and productions encompassing elements such as “World Heritage sites and iconic landmarks”. Other themes to follow are “Fun-Tastic Summer”, “Golden Fall Delights” and “A Merry Winter”, with six of the shows presented by partner entities.
The first show tonight will be presented by MGTO, while the second show will be presented by Melco Group. Both groups will present a variety of patterns under the theme.
