I always wish I’d spent more time flying kites when I was a kid. There’s so much happiness to be found in taking your winged-canvas down to the beach and watching it soar through the air like a seagull – without the stress of it trying to steal your hot chips, of course. But who says it’s only the kids that can enjoy the fun?
The truth is, kite flying is for everyone, young and old. Whether you’re a novice or a master kite flyer, there’s an exciting event coming to the Adelaide CBD this January, offering a day full of kite-themed entertainment.
Adelaide’s unique Kite Flying Festival is officially here – and, it has a new home. Previously held at the beach, the festival is coming to Victoria Park/Pakapakanthi on Saturday, January 25th from 11am til 7pm. Held on the last Saturday of the school holidays, this kid-friendly festival promises a thrilling day of fun before school goes back the following week.
Tickets are free for kids under-12 and $3 for general admission. Every general admission ticket comes with a FREE kite, so you don’t even need to bring your own.

Of course, if you do have your own, there’s nothing cooler than showing off your unique flying avatar to a big group of onlookers, so bring it along!
Beyond all the kite flying action, there will be a frenzy of additional fun to keep the whole family entertained all afternoon. The kiddies can tear it up on the bouncy castle and amusement rides, or have their face painted at one of the many artist booths. A marketplace of merchandise stalls will also be arranged, offering a wide variety of kites, threads, and trinkets.
What’s more, a bunch of delicious food trucks and dessert stalls will be dishing out food all day, and multiple DJs will be there to keep the vibes flying high into the evening.
So come colour the sky at the Adelaide Kite Flying Festival this January. Pack a picnic, grab a rug and head to Victoria Park in the CBD for an enjoyable event with friends & family.
