July is a busy month for cultural events. One of the highlights is the Marine and Water Bureau Day (Jul 15th), which features free boat rides, as well as the rare chance to climb to the top of Guia Lighthouse. The city becomes in effect a stage in its own right, as the five-month-long Art Macao event welcomes in July the International Youth Music Festival 2019 (Jul 17th-21st) and the International Youth Dance Festival 2019 (Jul 20th-25th). The local music scene is in full swing throughout the month, ranging from the 20th edition of the Macau Band Fair (May 25th – Aug 30th) to the return of some Irish pop kings, with the Westlife The Twenty Tour in Macao (Jul 26th, 27th).
