The number of stalls has significantly increased in this Craft Market, and creative stalls from Hong Kong have also been introduced.

Meanwhile, 47 music performances by singers from Macao and Mainland China as well as creative gastronomy stalls are held.

Those who arrive 10 minutes after the workshop starts will lose their place and will be replaced by on-site applicants on the waiting list, and their registration fees will not be refunded. The organiser will distribute tickets to on-site applicants 30 minutes before each workshop starts, and members of the public may arrive earlier for a place on the waiting list. Any latecomers to the workshops will be replaced by on-site applicants on the waiting list accordingly, and the on-site applicants will have to make the registration and pay an application fee of MOP50 for each workshop on-site.
