Kite Festival

My absolute favourite festival held in Singapore, the NTUC Income Kite Festival Singapore! Even if you don't have a kite, you should still go down every year because:
1.) It's really amazing just staring up at a sky full of colourful HUGE kites!
2.) It's great fun for people of all ages, regardless of race, language or religion!
3.) They give free kites at the event!!!

It's raining kites!

There were some pretty huge kites too, that needed 14 people to maneuver! Didn't manage to capture a photo of it, was busy gawking rainbows.

I've been going every single year, bringing both my big kite and teeniest kite in the world. They also have mini activities to do and watch during the festival such as a kite fighting competition, giant kite displays, magic shows and street performers!

Pretty big kite. Couldn't make it fly even with 3 people :(

Tiniest kite in the world was easier to fly!

Unfortunately, I missed this year's festival (at least, I missed the big kite display, which is the coolest part). They usually hold it in September, but for some unknown reason they moved it to start June this year and separated the festival into 4 mini events. It's not to late to make it for the other parts of the festival!
(But still, too late for the big kite display, which is the coolest :( )

Kite Giants - Big and Wondrous; 1-3 June 2013
Children's Kite Carnivale; 29-30 June 2013 (West Coast Park)
Indoor Kite Flying Show; 21-22 Jul 2013 (Somewhere in the North)
Grand Flying Days; 31 July - 1 Sept 2013 (The Promontory)

Will probably be heading down for Grand Flying Days again this year. Not armed with my tiny kite anymore cause it disintegrated :( But it's alright, because they'll still be handing out free kites :D
