Food Festival’s next edition to promote sustainability

The 16th Macau Food Festival will take place between November 11 and 24 at the Sai Van Lake Square. The event’s theme is “Food Wise New Century”, a bid to raise public awareness regarding new sustainability measures to reduce food waste.
Six food sections, called “streets”, will be available for visitors, with specific streets for Asian and European cuisine as well as one for desserts. For the first time, Malaysian food will have its own section. A number of shows and games will also be available for public enjoyment, including performances by pop singers and bands.
The festival will run on different schedules every day. Food stalls will open from 5 p.m. to 11.30 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, and from 3 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. from Friday to Sunday.
The organizer, the Association of Macau Restaurant Merchants, has informed the public that a free shuttle route will run from the border gate and from Sai Van Lake Square. Three other shuttles will pick up passengers at the Taipa Central Park, the Sintra Hotel, and the northern district.
Two competitions will be held during the festival, including food arrangement and photography competitions.
