Note that the Festival of The Winds is on Sunday the 13th of September from 11am until 4pm, rather than Saturday. Sorry for the mistake folks!
Revisit the childhood delight of building and flying your own kite (or just admire other people's amazing creations) at the
Festival Of The Winds, Australia’s largest kite flying festival that will take place on Sunday September 13.
The skies over Bondi Beach will be over taken by hundreds of kites in all shapes and sizes. Members from the Australian Kite Flyers Society will be showing off their Delta and Free Form kites. The event is so big that it also attracts international kite makers and flyers from as far as India, Malaysia, China and Japan.
Join in with the celebration by bringing your homemade kite or pick one up from one of the stalls that will be set up in the park. But if you really like the idea of making your own but just don’t have the time to build one before the event, kite-making workshops will also be running on the day.
Have a look at some of these
photos to see what you can expect from the event.
Up along Bondi Pavilion a multicultural entertainment program has been planned for the two days where the Pavilion Courtyard Amphitheatre will host plenty of live performances.
A mini circus will also be there to keep the kids off your hands with rides, face painting, an animal farm, jugglers, stilt walkers, puppeteers and clowns.
Running in conjunction with the weekend, the Bondi Pavilion Gallery will be hosting a free aerial art exhibition.
To top it off, a good old Aussie barbecue will be cooking up some sausage sizzles to keep those stomachs full. But there will also be a great selection of multicultural food stalls to feed the more adventurous appetite.
Additional public transport buses have been organised for the day so getting to Bondi Beach won’t be a problem. Just visit the
Transport Infoline for more details.
