October Family Fun: Great Kids Events in Macau

travessa do armazem velho festival

October weather takes Macau outdoor activities to a whole new level. It’s an awesome time to be outside and appreciate the breeze, so we comprised a series of fun events for you and your kids! Festival do Armazém takes a big step into the past, bringing the 80s and the 90s back into the locals’ lives. Meanwhile, Keith Haring’s Maze sounds both fun and entangling, so satisfy your curiosity and head to Venetian. With Autumn comes Halloween, one of children’s favorite celebration, so join the costume competitions at Albergue SCM and have a great time with the little ones!

FESTIVAL TRAVESSA DO ARMAZÉM VELHO

(See featured image above)

During the entire month of October, a series of ceremonies and activities will be held every Saturday and Sunday from October 6 to October 28, such as Rickshaw experience, traditional clothing rental and filming, traditional craftsmanship experience, site tour, and art exhibitions. Also, a “Happy Chinese Shortbread Trolley Competition” will be held on the opening day, with a “Halloween Special” on October 27 and 28. Experience this old Macau business district by joining their time machine in a flashback to the 1960s and 1970s Macau.

The events will take place at Travessa do Armazém Velho, located in Rua dos Ervanários (pronounced Guan Chin Kai), one of the oldest streets of Macau. This new landmark mixes place-based local culture with new modern entrepreneurship. October 2018 will transform Travessa do Armazém Velho, with a new festival to color every weekend.

The purposes of the events are to promote the most original place-based local cultures of this oldest business district and, at the same time, to showcase elements of the former industry and rising creative entrepreneurship activities as well. It is also expected to attract locals to revisit this historical community.

When: Every Saturday and Sunday, October 6–October 28, 2018

Where: Travessa do Armazém Velho, Rua dos Ervanários, Macau

KEITH HARING MAZE MACAO

Come along to visit Keith Haring’s first Macau exhibition and the first Keith Haring themed art maze in the world. The artist’s work is legendary and this unique pop-art experience will feature interactive games, sculptures, and special edition Macau event souvenirs as well! It will take place from 28 September 2018 until 31 December 2018 at The Venetian Macao. Get (literally) lost in this exhibition and experience the works of a true pop-art creator. The unique pop-art experience will feature interactive games, sculptural renditions of Keith Haring artworks and special edition Macau event souvenirs.

The idea of the maze was conceived by local Macau-based designers, working along with Artestar, a New York-based licensing agency representing The Keith Haring Studio and many other prominent artists. As the first Keith Haring themed maze in the world, the event aims to showcase a selection of images which represent Haring’s vitality and determination in encouraging people to be positive and live in the moment. Keith Haring’s artwork and his legendary life are a great inspiration against negative energy worldwide.
