The mid-Autumn festival is upon us and as usual there are a number of exciting events being held around Macau from this Friday and across the weekend.

It all starts with the “Chinese Traditional Lantern Festival Haojiang Moonlight Night – Confucius” to be held on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 September from 20:00 – a large-scale dance performance by the China National Opera & Dance Drama Theatre depicting Confucius’ pursuit of the ideal world of universal harmony.
