March 30: Feast of Pak Tai

Pak Tai’s birthday is on the third day of the third lunar month, which falls on March 30 this year. In Chinese folk religion, Pak Tai conquered 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.

Mar 30, all day. Pak Tai Temple, Taipa Village. 

Ongoing: Ad Lib

Since artist Konstantin Bessmertny moved to Macau from Russia 23 years ago, he has witnessed dramatic changes in the city, which have inspired him to employ an absurd visual language to express himself from the perspective of both a foreigner and an insider. The exhibition Ad Lib showcases a collection of his recent work, including paintings, sculptures, videos and installations. 

Tue-Sat, 10am-7pm; free entry. Macao Museum of Art.
