That's PRD takes a look at the best of the month in Macau:
Apr 18: Feast of Pak Tai
Pak Tai’s birthday is on the third day of the third lunar month, which falls on April 18 this year. In Chinese folk religion, Pak Tai defeated the Demon King, who was terrorizing the universe. As a reward, he was given the title ‘Superior Divinity of the Deep Dark Heaven’ and ‘True Soldier of the North.’ A feast for Pak Tai will be offered on this day and Cantonese opera will be performed in a bamboo theater outside the temple.
