The sky at Rippleside Park will be filled with kites when the second Kids+ Kite Festival.
Designed to promote a sense of belonging and community connection, the Kids+ Kite Festival brings together people of all abilities for a fun, accessible, and inclusive family day.
Last year’s inaugural festival saw upwards of 300 people attend.
“Last year, a fun, family, inclusive event was just what everybody needed, and off the back of that success we feel there is demand in the Geelong events calendar for regular, accessible, and inclusive events where everyone can take part and enjoy themselves,” Kids+ marketing manager Sharon Gibbons said.
“We welcome everybody to come along to the festival, not only for a fabulous day out with family and friends but also to support our message of inclusivity, because we know that the interests of people with disability will only advance when the broader community supports inclusion and participation.”
Activities on the day will include kite flying and face-painting, a giant aerial kite display, music, and delicious locally sourced food.
Kites are available to purchase through kidspluskitesfestival.com.au/ with all proceeds going to Kids+, a Geelong based paediatric allied health therapy and support foundation.
The kite festival is on Sunday October 2 from 11am to 2pm at Rippleside Park.
