Entertainment | Parade ambassadors prepare for Sunday’s event

The “Parade through Macao, Latin City,” which celebrates the 17th anniversary of Macau’s handover to China, will be held on Sunday.

The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) is once again organizing the event.  This year, the IC has joined hands with several local associations and organizations to recruit VIVA Ambassadors who will be responsible for providing assistance during the event. The VIVA Ambassadors declared their commitment to the event in an oath ceremony, which was held on Saturday at Tong Nam School.

After the oath ceremony, over 400 VIVA Ambassadors attended training sessions, site inspections and rehearsals. During the Parade, they will be assigned different tasks including crowd control, the maintenance of public order and souvenir distribution, as well as providing assistance during the interactions between the performers and the public. VIVA Ambassadors’ participation is crucial to this event as they will ensure the public will be able to enjoy the event in an orderly, safe and pleasurable environment.

This year’s “Parade through Macao, Latin City” carries forward the motto “An Annual Celebration for the Entire City – VIVA” and is themed “VIVA’s Adventures through Shan Hai”.

According to a statement issued by the IC, “VIVA will cross a time gate and depart to the mysterious land of the Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan Hai Jing), kicking off a fantastic adventure and taking part in the ‘Peace, Love and Cultural Integration’ party, celebrating the handover.”
