Lusofonia Festival, Macau, 2025 Dates, Portuguese Cultural Exhibitions

Organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau and the Galaxy Entertainment Group and Co-organised by the Macao Government Tourism Office and the Municipal Affairs Bureau, the 2025 GEG Lusofonia Festival took place in parallel with the 6th Encounter in Macau – Arts and Cultural Festival between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries, leverage the bridging role of Macao as “a base for exchange and cooperation where diverse cultures coexist with Chinese culture as the mainstream”, and advance the establishment of Macao as a cultural exchange centre for China and the Portuguese-speaking countries.

In this edition of the Lusofonia Festival, greater emphasis was placed on promoting the culture of Goa, Damão and Diu, so a Chef and a Temporary Tattoo Artist from these territories were invited to hold Gastronomy and Temporary Tattoo presentations at the Festival space.

Cultural Booths from local Portuguese-speaking Communities from Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Goa, Daman and Diu, Mozambique, Portugal, San Tome and Príncipe, East Timor and the Macanese community were represented at the event in which they made themselves known to the public the music, dance, art, crafts, traditional costumes, literature, tourist information and even the snacks and drinks typical of their countries or regions.

Over the years, the Lusofonia Festival has become an important event for sharing the culture of Portuguese-speaking communities with Chinese culture, revealing Macau’s role as a platform for cultural exchange between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.

The Lusofonia Festival is a fun-filled celebration of Portuguese culture in Macau.
