MGM has partnered with Coloane Day to launch Barra Mart, a vibrant weekend pop-up market designed to invigorate the Barra District and offer Macau residents and tourists a unique leisure destination.

The market, open across four consecutive weekends from 19 April, transforms the iconic Barra Kitchen venue into a lively hub for shopping, dining and socializing.

Barra Mart features 21 local SMEs, showcasing an eclectic mix of daily essentials and lifestyle goods. Visitors can browse stalls offering fresh produce, home décor, flowers and plants, pet supplies and handmade crafts, reflecting Macau’s diverse and creative community spirit. The market also highlights popular local food and beverage brands, serving up brunch, specialty coffee and an array of ready-to-eat treats, ensuring that shoppers can enjoy light bites and refreshments while soaking in the welcoming weekend ambiance.

Set against the rich backdrop of Barra’s East-meets-West heritage, Barra Mart is more than just a market – it is an experience that blends daytime activities with the district’s renowned night market scene, seamlessly transitioning from day to night and infusing the area with vibrant community vibes. The event is proudly pet-friendly, encouraging visitors to bring along their furry friends for a day out, making it an inclusive hotspot for food, shopping and play under one roof.

William Koi from Coloane Day remarked, “Hosting a lifestyle market here brings out the unique cultural characteristics of Macau and creates an exceptional street market experience that helps enrich the lifestyle of residents and tourists.”

The Barra District is a historic neighborhood revitalized by MGM. In an interview, Catarina Lio, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing of MGM, said the company hosted more than a dozen events in the Barra District last year, attracting a cumulative attendance of over 400,000. These included interactive exhibitions and retail experiences, with weekend visitor numbers consistently reaching 3,000 to 5,000, and 1,500 to 2,000 visitors on weekdays.
