Running with Kites 2008

News: This year the Brisbane Kite Festival has joined up with the Brisbane Festival to create a special international kite flying event for 2008, called "Running with Kites". It will be held on Sat 19 July 2008 from 11am - 4pm at the Murarrie Recreation Reserve. Entry is Free!

Running With Kites will be a fantastic day for the whole family with the most spectacular kites ever seen over the skies of Brisbane. A sea of colour highlights beautifully crafted masterpieces such as intricate maple leaves and fiercely vibrant dragons, from the renowned Taiwanese kite masters Wen-Fu Tsai, Shun-Cheng Ho and Hung-Nan Hsu as well as local kite artist Tony Rice.

Don't look up too long or you’ll miss the action on the ground. Food and market stalls, kite workshops, and lots of entertainment from Australia’s best street performers including the quirky cycling musician Linsey Pollak and company and the fabulous London busking group Bowjangles.

Don’t forget to bring your own kite to fly!

The Brisbane Kite Festival will be back in September 2009!
