Clockenflap music director Justin Sweeting told Coconuts HK that one of his favourite moments of Clockenflap is seeing “collections of people just having the best time”. Here is a collection of photos from the 10th installment of Hong Kong’s three-day music and arts festival with some people – festival goers and performers – snapped being silly and having a whale of a time.
