Chinese and Portuguese Picture Book Fair

This year’s Chinese and Portuguese Picture Book Fair, themed “The Fairy Tale World”, offers a captivating trove of picture books and children's literature. Book promotion sessions, workshops, puppet theatre performances and hand and face painting invite readers to immerse themselves in the interactive sessions while choosing their favourite books to buy, thus cultivating deeper appreciation for the creative process and stories behind picture books, and a deeper understanding and interest in the artistry that give life to these enchanted realms.

*Enjoy exclusive offers for a series of activities by presenting tickets for the film festival or the concert, or receipts from the picture book fair featured in the 7^th “Encounter in Macao – Arts and Cultural Festival between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries”! More details
