wish fulfilled

YES YES YES YES!!!!

The inaugural Singapore Kite Festival in August will include colourful exhibitions, hands-on workshops and culminate in a mass kite flying extravaganza at West Coast Park featuring kite stunts, arts performances and activities.

Kite flying was once a popular sport amongst Malay, Chinese and Indian communities in the fifties. The Singapore Kite Festival is all about reviving this tradition and establishing a fantastic multi-cultural community event.


Kite Flying Exhibitions

To get the festival off to a flying start, 700 primary and secondary school students can participate in workshops to paint magnificent colourful kites and learn how to build their own. These kites will be displayed to the public at Raffles City (August 7-10), Vivocity (August 14 -16) and Northpoint (August 21 - 23).

Visitors also have to opportunity to make their own at the Kite Making workshops, which will allow them to fly their own with the 700 others at Kite Flying Day. If you have kids, watch out for performances of The Little Kite, a play about a little princess who loves kites.


Kite Flying Days


Bring along a picnic, friends and family to enjoy this huge outdoor event. With a vast open area for kites to fly high, kite-making workshops and Kite Masters on hand to teach you dazzling tricks, kids will have plenty to keep them happy. A lively stage will host song and dance performances from local artists and the awards for the Most Innovative and Inspiring and Most Humorous Kite awards.

Kite Flying Days will be held at the Grand Lawn, West Coast Park from 4-7pm on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August.

Lala!! Let's go get our kites soon!
