IN THE MARKET? – CLICK BELOW FOR OPEN HOMES THIS SATURDAY
The skies above Redcliffe are set to fill with a vibrant display of soaring kites as Pelican Park hosts the beloved KiteFest, now completely free for the entire community to enjoy.
This popular event will take place on Saturday, 20 September and Sunday, 21 September. Families are welcome to join the festivities from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days.
A Return to Community Roots
This year, the Vietjet Redcliffe KiteFest is shifting its focus back to its origins with a refreshed format centred on family connection and the pure fun of flying a kite. Organisers have removed the entry fee, making the two-day spectacle accessible for all residents and visitors. The change encourages families to simply bring a picnic rug, find a comfortable spot, and enjoy a relaxed day out watching the colourful aerial displays.
Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery supported the new approach, explaining that it is designed to reconnect locals with the much-loved festival. He noted that the city is committed to supporting inclusive, family-friendly events that highlight the unique character of the region for everyone to experience.
High-Flying Fun and Family Activities
The heart of the festival will be the Ausbuild Kite-Flying Arena. Here, professional kite flyers from across Australia and overseas will put on a show with their incredible creations, from giant, floating characters to precisely flown stunt kites performing synchronised routines.
Beyond the main arena, Pelican Park will be full of activities. A special public fly zone, sponsored by Sesame Lane, will be available for anyone wanting to fly their own kite. For those feeling creative, kite-making workshops will be running throughout the day. The event also promises a great time for kids with face painting, animal encounters, gem fossicking, and pony rides. To keep everyone fed, a wide selection of food trucks will be on-site, alongside a bustling market alley filled with artisan goods and local crafts.
