Wanna get high this weekend? Or would you rather hoist a bit of fabric bound together with nylon and hollow plastic tubing into the air? We know what we'd choose. (Both.)
This Saturday and Sunday sees the running of the annual Kitefest at Redcliffe, and by golly is it going to be a cracker! Due to the ever-increasing interest in kite flying, only a small handful of kite-fliers (kitists? kiters? kiteophiles?) have been personally invited to fly at this year's event. Expect the crème-de-la-crème of Queensland's (if not the WORLD'S!) kite enthusiasts to be out in force and on display for the public to see. If the excitement gets too much you can clam yourself with a little wine tasting or wandering around the market stalls.
A kitey mass will fill the Redcliffe sky this weekend, and we recommend you all be a part of the festivities to bear witness to this, the state's premier recreation event. Kites are tight!
