2025 Sands Shopping Carnival Coming in July

6th straight year providing free business platform for local SMEs Booth registration May 20-28

（Macao, May 19, 2025）– Sands China will hold the 2025 Sands Shopping Carnival at The Venetian® Macao July 17-20, bringing back the popular annual carnival for the sixth year in a row. Kicking off with an invitation-only preview session on the first day, the free-admission carnival will be open noon to 10 p.m. daily. Complimentary shuttle buses and free parking are available for attendees.

The Sands Shopping Carnival is Macao’s largest sale event, transforming Cotai Expo into a four-day summer shopping and leisure destination. This year’s event features over 580 booths across nine exhibition zones, including a Play and Fun Zone for children. Organised by Sands China Ltd. and co-organised by the Macao Chamber of Commerce, the carnival aims to create synergy between local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Sands retailers, local NGOs, and the arts and culture community, in a bid to attract local residents and consumers from the Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong. 

Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd., said: “Since we debuted the Sands Shopping Carnival in 2020, it has attracted more than 540,000 visits and generated substantial praise, becoming one of Macao’s signature summertime events. We are pleased to once again offer a free business platform for local SMEs and Sands retailers, while injecting fresh elements into the carnival to cater to the latest spending patterns of local residents and tourists, providing them with exclusive shopping and leisure experiences. This year we have also included a diverse series of free activities and competitions for people in the Greater Bay Area to join, making the carnival a significant event for cities in the region. It is our hope that the carnival helps create synergy between local SMEs and Sands retailers, generating spending while boosting Macao’s diversified economic development in support of the Macao government’s ‘tourism+’ initiative.”
