Dragons and scuba divers are just some of
the kiting creations that will fill the sky above Muizenberg on 10 & 11
October at the fifteenth Cape Town International Kite Festival, which is
organised by Cape Mental Health in association with Heart 104.9 FM.
The Cape Town International Kite Festival
is Africa’s biggest kite festival, and this year will coincide with World
Mental Health Day on 10 October. With an expected 20,000 visitors Cape
Mental Health hopes it will be one of the largest mental health day
festivities in the world. The theme for 2009 is ‘World on a String:
Celebrating World Mental Health Day’.

Kiters from the USA, Germany, England and
around South Africa will be at the Festival to fly their magnificent
creations. Local visitors are encouraged to bring along their own kites,
make a kite at the kite-making workshops or just enjoy watching the
colourful aerial extravaganza.
With food stalls, giant inflatables,
kiddies’ rides, Heart 104.9 FM broadcasting live and an eclectic craft
market, this is family entertainment at its best.
Entry is R10 per adult and R5 per child,
with all profits going to support the work of Cape Mental Health. The
Festival will be open from 10:00 to 18:00 each day and takes place on the
lawns surrounding Zandvlei, Muizenberg. There is lots of parking and easy
access by train (False Bay or Muizenberg stations).
