Macao International Dragon Boat Races 2019
Dragon boat, voluntarily organised by the community, was not an annual event in Macau’s pre-1979. Since then however, the activity has been promoted as an annual international dragon boat race. Athletic teams from different countries are invited to Macau to participate in this sports event enriched with traditional features. Dragon boat teams from Hong Kong, Japan, the U.S., the Philippines, China, Thailand, Singapore, Korea, Australia and Europe frequently participate in the races.
Since the founding of the Macau Special Administrative Region, the Macao International Dragon Boat Races have been jointly organised by the Sports Bureau and Macau China Dragon Boat Association. While dragon boating is a widely popular festive activity in Macau during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Macao International Dragon Boat Races have grown to become an important sports event in the territory. Year by year, the event has become larger in scale and attracts an increasing number of participants. Thousands of skilled athletes from home and abroad gather annually in Macau to participate in this significant event. In 2001, the International University Student Dragon Boat races for men and women were included in the programme.
In the past, the races primarily took place on Nam Van and Sai Van Lakes. Since its establishment, the Nam Van Lake Nautical Centre has become an ideal competition venue for the competition.
When: June 1, 2 and 7, 2019
Where: Nam Van Lake Nautical Centre, Lago Nam Van, Macau

“Photo-Scripts”: Photography Exhibition by João Miguel Barros
Portuguese João Miguel Barros has his photography works exhibited at Navy Yard 1 from April 12 to June 2. “Photo-Scripts” comprises of twelve short stories, all independent from each other, and can be read like a book of short stories. They are twelve exercises based on a certain roaming of one’s gaze but also of one’s writing fictionalised from reality, seeking meaning in moments that could easily go unnoticed.
It is an exhibition of loose ends, based on narratives that are more or less consistent, but capable of showing a world of small complexities. It is part of a pre-conceived itinerary, intended to reveal simple stories from almost nothing, at times just a little something following a logic that contradicts the cliché idea that only decisive moments are worthy of being told.
When: April 12–June 2, 2019
Where: Navy Yard 1, Macao Contemporary Art Center – Navy Yard No 1, Rua S. Tiago da Barra, Macau
How much: Free admission
