Hosted mostly at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre Feb. 21 to 23, attendees were able to watch and participate in challenges like whipsaw, axe throw, flour packing, the community challenge and more.
Some traditional events, like the fireworks, were cancelled this year, but others, like the air display at the airport, were back to entertain the crowds.
