“Wondera Festival” is set to take place this weekend at the Navy Yard No.1 & No.2 in Barra district, with organisers referring to the event as Macau’s first wellness and culture festival.
The festival is supported by lululemon, a Canadian-American multinational athletic apparel retailer, and co-organised by Oneness Cultural Space, CYCA Macao, and Long Fung Drama Club.
It will coincide with Global Wellness Day, which is held on the second Saturday of June, and is held ahead of the International Day of Yoga, which is on June 21.
According to a statement from organisers on Monday, the two-day event will feature 42 local market booths across five themed, free admission zones, with activities featuring, among others, wellness, craft, lifestyle and food, while the programme will consist of workshops, talks, and live music, though some sessions require pre-registration and a fee.
Centred on the theme “Everything is Healing”, the Wondera Festival features unconventional sessions.
The statement highlighted activities like the “Ice Cream Run,” where participants make ice cream mid-run, and “Sonic Brew,” a session fusing coffee, breath awareness with sound healing.
Other sessions highlighted are a workshop combining numerology and floristry, a “Writer’s Night”, and a dialogue where theatre and psychology intersect.
On its goals, the organisers said in the statement that the festival “aims to create an accessible, welcoming, and positive platform for wellness culture, with the core values of wonder, healing, creativity, connection, and local roots”.
The festival will run from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. during its two-day run, with the market being open from 12 noon through 9:00 p.m. More details can be found at @WonderaFestival on Instagram.
