The Tap Siac Craft Market in Autumn starts tomorrow, being set to feature over 200 handicraft and creative gastronomy stalls, 47 music performances, and 63 creative handicraft workshops throughout its run.
Held in Praça do Tap Siac, the fair will first be held from tomorrow through Sunday and again from November 27 to 30. Throughout its run this week and the next, the market will operate from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays and from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. at weekends.
According to a statement by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) on Monday, stalls will be run by “cultural and creative practitioners” from the Chinese mainland, Macau, Hong Kong, China’s Taiwan region, Japan, Malaysia, and South Korea, selling products ranging from handicrafts to daily necessities.
Moreover, there will be variety of singers from Macau, the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. Tomorrow’s opening ceremony will feature the mainland’s KURO (梁君諾), who the statement said is known for his “metalcore” vocals and “Gentle Rocker” image, as guest performer. When he was 18, the singer-songwriter won second prize in the Global Cantonese Singing Contest. In 2013, he performed in The Voice of China, with his Cantonese song “Guilty Mind” garnering attention and now having over 200 million views across platforms.
Regarding the creative handicraft workshops, the craft market website notes that it will feature everything from creating miniature models to jewellery and other accessories. The IC statement reminded applicants to arrive on time, with latecomers to be replaced by on-site applicants on the waiting list and will not be refunded.
