Darwin Kite Festival

The Darwin Kite Festival returns for a second year!

Get ready for more kite gazing, kite flying and wholesome family fun at the Darwin Kite Festival on Friday 20 September from 5:30pm and Saturday 21 September from 11:00am!

Held across two days, this year’s festival promises to bring just as many kites and community-fun as last year.

Be amazed as hundreds of giant, colourful and mesmerising kites take over our beautiful blue skies on the Cullen Bay Lawns. Along with kite displays, there will also be plenty of action on the ground with kite decorating workshops, live entertainment and public kite flying arenas for everyone to enjoy. Make sure to order your kite ahead of the day, and bring it down to participate in the public fly zone.

Attending this year’s Festival is a breeze! Catch the Kite Express (Bus 14) from Darwin Interchange to the Kite Festival or jump on the Kite Shuttle, taking you from Mindil Beach and Myilly Terrace overflow parking to the Kite Festival! Both of these options are free for Kite Festival attendees.

Don't miss out on this unique, fun-filled event!
