Festival of the Winds 2014

Overview

Do you need a winter hangover cure the entire family can enjoy? You’re in luck, ‘cause Festival of the Winds is here to nurse the headache at Bondi Beach this Sunday, September 14.

Colourful cartoon characters, giant animals and flowers, fighter kites, box kites, delta kites and more are scheduled to appear at the festival, which kicks off at 11am on what we hope will be a sunny spring day. Internationally renowned kite flyers (yes, they exist) will be boasting some pretty spectacular flying skills with their handmade creations.

So dust off that kite you packed away at age ten and show off your (probably rusty) flying skills, or join in on one of the kite-making workshops on offer throughout the day. But this isn’t just a day for kite enthusiasts; there’ll be loads of dance workshops, puppet shows and a whole lot more that both children and the nostalgic can enjoy.
