Sands China Launches ‘Summer Fiesta’ Community Revitalisation Attractions at Iec Long and Taipa Houses

Sands China has launched Summer Fiesta, the latest round of its Community Revitalisation Series at the former Iec Long Firecracker Factory and the Taipa Houses, with installations on display now until May 31.

With Summer Fiesta, two areas come together to create an urban oasis in Macao, highlighting the distinct garden ambiance and natural ecology of both locations. Sands China is undertaking the transformation of the historic firecracker factory into the delightful Iec Long Zoo now until May 12, showcasing colourful and whimsical animal sculptures and the beauty of nature to create a joyful atmosphere, while the Taipa Houses continue to offer a romantic and leisurely sanctuary with Love at Taipa Houses, featuring the Encounter Love installation  until May 31. In addition, Sands China has organised complimentary family activities for both local residents and visitors, including the recent Todos Fest!, an inclusive arts festival that ran April 12-21 at the former Iec Long Firecracker Factory, demonstrating the company’s commitment to promoting Macao as a renowned and desirable destination for both living and tourism.

“A unique architectural style can still be seen at the former Iec Long Firecracker Factory, and its beautiful natural scenery makes it a significant area to be preserved and promoted,” said Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd. “We are therefore transforming this remarkable area into a zoo-themed spot, while also enriching the romantic ambience at the Taipa Houses, in contribution to the city’s economic diversification. We hope locals and tourists alike enjoy the beauty of the attractive new installations at these historic Macao locations early this summer. Moreover, in the hope of benefitting a wide range of stakeholders through our community revitalisation events, Sands China is pleased to present Todos Fest!, an inclusive arts festival aimed at spreading positivity in the community and promoting the idea of social inclusion – making the city a more inclusive and understanding place for all. Last but not least, we would like to express our gratitude to the Cultural Affairs Bureau for their unwavering support throughout the event.”
