Parade for Celebration of the Year of the Horse

19.2.2026 & 28.2.2026
"Flying Horse": The concept depicts the horse gallops in the wind and leaps over the clouds. This not only demonstrates the power of swift running but also symbolizes the extraordinary spirit of upward connection and pioneering. This spiritual atmosphere aptly reflects present-day Macau, which, under the guidance and support of the central government, is gaining momentum to embark together on a new journey.
With lofty aspirations, we embrace the broad journey ahead; with boundless passion, we forge ahead with courage. Let us summon the courage of leaping and whipping horses, stimulate the vitality of thousand horses galloping, maintain the impetus of tireless horses. Together let us dream, strive, and work hard for happiness, transform our grand vision into a beautiful reality, and create a new chapter of development with infinite brilliance and a bright future.
