a whole host of other activities besides


Explanation:
I think "Bunt" has a rough sense of "variegated" here - in other words, a wide variety or a whole host of different activities that are on offer.

agree  phillee: Sounds good to me
10 mins
  -> Thank you. This seems to me equally idiomatic.

agree  BrigitteHilgner: Yes - because "Bunt" doesn't just relate to activities/events but to people (active/spectators, young/old, etc.), too.
21 mins
  -> Thank you for your input :)

agree  Björn Vrooman: Not sure I entirely agree with Brigitte after some discussion, but that doesn't change my agreement. You should keep it equally simple and short in EN. Some of the other answers seem too...elaborate.
3 hrs
  -> Thanks :)

agree  Eleanore Strauss: not bad, but doesn't really reflect the truly colorful goings-on at this event and in the region
9 hrs
  -> Thank you. I was shooting for something idiomatic.

many other exciting events


Explanation:
I'd keep it as short and simple as possible for a heading. I'm not sure we'd describe any events as 'colourful' in English unless they were costumed or carnivalesque, so I'd convey the 'Bunt' as exciting.

"... including taster Tai Chi, Silken Bamboo Music and afternoon tea, film and photograph exhibitions and many other exciting events."

the brighter the better


Explanation:
This reminds me of Karneval. Maybe the Bunt refers to the costumes.
