This festive event is part of the “Prosperity at Cotai Strip” celebrations at Cotai Strip Resorts Macao for the upcoming Year of the Horse.
Organised by Cotai Strip Resorts Macao, Sands China Ltd.’s integrated resort city, “Seasons of Prosperity” transforms the outdoor lagoon area at the iconic Venetian Macao, decorated in festive style to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year holidays with a host of spectacular festivities, featuring 18 uniquely decorated fibreglass horses, a beautiful carrousel, a traditional Chinese archway, a gigantic 40- foot-high peach blossom tree, game booths featuring fortune telling, lucky draws, lucky banner calligraphy and balloon twisting, a real ice skating rink, and more.
The display of the horse sculptures between Jan. 18 and Feb. 16 is in support local art project Anno Equitum, in which 38 Macao local artists are each hand-decorating a two-metre-high fibreglass horse with a Chinese New Year theme.
