While watching a puppet performance by Chinese artists, guests also had the opportunity to try their hand at creating sugar paintings and woodblock prints.

"The Spring Festival is not only a celebration for the Chinese people but also a UNESCO-recognized cultural heritage and a festival for the world," Charmaine St. John, mayor of Santa Lucija, told Xinhua. "Just like the Spring Festival temple fair, we can share happiness through Chinese traditions, culture, and art."

Dawson Camilleri, a longtime member of the China Cultural Center, attended the event with friends. They experimented with woodblock printing and were fascinated by the technique. "It's amazing how vivid images appear on paper with simple smearing," he told Xinhua, emphasizing the significance of printing in cultural transmission.
