This Christmas, Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre is bringing to the Orient a glittery French Noel titled, "Rendez-vous a Macau Tower for a French Christmas 2004", paying tribute to the "Year of France in China" campaign and celebrating the 5th Handover Anniversary of Macau SAR. Macau Tower will be staging a kaleidoscope of French-themed celebrations, including a French Marche to be opened on December 10, as well as a world class pyro-musical epic to be sparked off on December 17 titled "So that the stars dance". This spectacle is an official program under the "Year of France in China" campaign, and Macau Tower is proud to be invited by the organizing committee to host this focus attraction in Macau. In this memorable month of December, we hope to extend an impressionable evening for residents and tourists as well as an unforgettable Christmas holiday.

A Galvanizing Pyrotechnic Display "So that the stars dance"- the ultimate in sound and vision

French Marché- experience the authentic French culture
The French Marché within Macau Tower will be here to celebrate Christmas and New Year from December 10 to February 20. Two eye-catching landmarks, a 7.625m chocolate Eiffel Tower and a 9.15m gingerbread Macau Tower crafted by our dessert experts are standing by to greet all visitors. The perfect backdrop to a photo capturing the sweetest festive memories.

Begin a journey to France by strolling down the romantic cobble-stoned street, stop by the Wallace Fountain, revel in the aroma of freshly brewed coffee from the café, take a break under the shade of a tree and listen to the accordionist's songs. Depending on the time of day, one may catch the popular quartet "Lunabob Lulu" or the "Forte" band performing in unison with the carol singers. Experience the true ambience of the Parisian streets where cancan dancers may be putting forward their exhilarating steps alongside the hilarious stilt-walker. Kids will love to receive their gifts from the all-time-favorite Santa Claus, and enjoy a workshop in gingerbread man decorating or gift-making.
