“Lotus Flowers in the Era of Prosperity for Double Celebration – the 24th Macao Lotus Flower Festival” is slated to take place in Avenida da Praia in Taipa and the peninsula’s main streets between June 14 and June 23, according to a statement on Friday from the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM).
This year’s theme is “Lotus Flowers in the Era of Prosperity for Double Celebration”, marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR).
The statement noted that during the period, aside from the main exhibition venue in Avenida da Praia in Taipa, where the lotus flower exhibition will be divided into three areas: “Blessed Land of Lotus Flowers”, “Aroma of Lotus Flowers Carried by Mist across China” and “Magnificent Scenery of the Motherland”, over 5,000 potted lotuses will also be placed along major streets, green areas and tourist attractions.
The statement added that one can also visit the lotus wetland in Taipa, noting that lotus flowers are in full bloom in June. Meanwhile, the statement added, there will be different lotus-themed activities such as parent-child workshops and eco-tours, as well as a lotus painting competition. Applications can be submitted via “Macao One Account” or in person at IAM’s Integrated Services Centre or different public services centres and stations.
The activities use the “registration first, lucky draw next” approach for applications, with the results to be released on “Macao One Account”. Applicants will be notified via SMS, the statement said.
