The June 24 Macanese celebrations
Welcome !
Welcome to this space dedicated to the Macanese celebrations of the 24th of June. The 24th of June celebrations in Macau (SAR of China) have a centuries-old history, one which we aim not only to share but also safeguard.
​
More than a tradition, the 24th of June presents itself as a vibrant cultural celebration, of a Macanese character, and deeply rooted in the city of Macau. Sã nosso festa festa! ([these] are our celebrations!)
​
To the 24th of June and its multiple futures!
A big thank you!
​

" ... Nhu-nhum di tudo casta di ofício
Chapá força na ora di perigo;
Co juda di Sám Juám, na sacrifício,
Já pinchá fora tudo inimigo ..."
​
Translation
Men of all walks of life
Closed ranks in time of crisis;
And with Saint John’s assistance in this sacrifice,
Drove away all enemies...
