‘Uplifting Mind and Body’ is the theme
for the sixteenth Cape Town International Kite Festival, proudly hosted by
Cape Mental Health.
This is Africa’s biggest kite festival
and attracts over 20,000 visitors, including some of the biggest names in
kiting in South Africa and the world who fly in to show off their
magnificent kite creations. With kite-making, kite-flying, food stalls,
kiddies’ rides, a full programme of entertainment and an eclectic craft
market, this is family entertainment at its best.

The Cape Town International Kite 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).
“More and more people are suffering from
stress and mental ill-health,” said Ingrid Daniels, Director of Cape
Mental health. “By inviting people to fly their kites, and highlighting
the connection between physical and mental well-being, we hope to uplift
minds and bodies.”
All profits go directly to Cape Mental
Health to support their mental health services for people in disadvantaged
communities.
