Asian culture was on full display at the festival, which was held at The Station Yuan’s.

About 30 people from all backgrounds turned out to celebrate the traditions of Chinese, Japanese and Indian cultures.

They were taught how to make their own dumplings and sushi, and dressed in traditional clothing.

Traditional music was played and attendees had a go at tai chi, qigong and calligraphy as well.

Making lanterns and playing chess were also part of the festival.
