The 2008 Cape Town International Kite Festival will
be ‘up, up and away’ on 25 and 26 October in Muizenberg, Cape Town. This
feel-good family event is Africa’s biggest kite festival and is organised
by Cape Mental Health. This will be the fourteenth Cape Town International
Kite Festival, and will once again be flying high, raising funds and
promoting good mental health.
Professional kiters from Europe, USA, Japan and
South Africa will be winging their way to Festival to display their
amazing kite creations. Local visitors can bring along their own kites,
make a kite at the kite-making workshops or just enjoy watching the
colourful aerial extravaganza.

By filling the sky with kites, Cape Mental Health
is making the world a nicer place – not only for the visitors to the
Festival – but also for the thousands of people with mental disabilities
who benefit from the organisation’s services every year. For people with
intellectual or psychiatric disabilities, it’s all about being seen, being
heard and being included – rather than being overlooked, underestimated,
and discriminated against. It’s about the freedom to fly ‘up, up and away’
– and to reach heights that previously seemed unachievable.
With food stalls, live entertainment, giant inflatables,
kiddies’ rides, a craft market and exhibition of health products and
services there will be lots to interest and entertain the whole family.
Heart 104.9 FM will be broadcasting live on both days; come and meet the
Heart DJs face to face.
