Adelaide Events Involving Kites

Mainly The Adelaide Kite Festival!

Adelaide events involving kite flying don't get any bigger than the annual Kite Festival! Sometimes other events in Adelaide, South Australia also involve the flying of kites. Everything that we write about these local kiting events will appear here.

In date order, with the most recent first...

In March 2008, and armed with a better digital camera than in 2007, we attended the kite festival on 3 separate days. As usual, a highlight was the Rokkaku Challenge! We took plenty of photos and videos over the weekend. To do justice to all that imagery, I decided we would do a number of separate pages, each focusing on a different type of kite. Quite a different approach to 2007, as you will see when links to those pages appear below. (a couple more are coming...)

August 2007 was when Windjam07 grabbed some media attention. The Scouts broke the world record for the greatest number of kites flying at once! It was a warm cloudy day with barely enough wind to keep the kites up, down at Glenelg Beach.

In March 2007, we first covered the Adelaide International Kite Festival with a long rambling account of everything we experienced. We were there for a few hours on just the Saturday.


That's all the events for now!
