The Festival Site hosted a number of events during the Respect theme weeks. The first event was Women's Day (14.06.2002), which was celebrated with a Purple Festival. In addition to events organised as part of the Cantonal Days, ExpoGames.02 was also held here. This was a large-scale festival of sport, organised in collaboration with the Swiss sports associations and the Swiss Olympic Association. Tournaments, exhibitions and taster courses in over 60 different sports awaited visitors. Even the snow was not missing.  

The site had no permanent buildings, but was used exclusively for project-related purposes.
