MACAU The Vietnamese Association in Macau has for the first time joined the 2024 Macau International Parade held by the local Cultural Affairs Bureau on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Macau's return to China.

Taking place on March 24, the parade highlighted the theme of love, peace, and cultural integration.

According to Nguyễn Thi Huế, who is in charge of the Vietnamese association’s cultural board, after eight days of practice after work hours, 46 amateur artists from the association showcased their performance at the event, dressed in áo dài (traditional long dress), conical hats, and ethnic costumes representing different regions across Việt Nam.

This year's parade saw the participation of over 80 teams with approximately 1,800 artists from Macau and many countries around the world.
