Visitors to Celebrate Hari Raya @ Stadium Roar will have the opportunity to try their hand at traditional games like bola tin, giant five stones, spinning tops, a life-sized eraser challenge and even a sepak takraw pong challenge. Those seeking something a little less competitive can look forward to crafts like tile painting, ketupat plushie making, stained glass art or even take part in creating a community mural using playnting, the technique of using drumsticks dipped in paint to create rhythmic paint patterns across a canvas.
