Colourful kites set to soar over Berwick

The skyline over Berwick’s Federation University campus will transform into a sea of moving colours this weekend as part of The Bright Events’ fifth Kite Festival.

Running from 2pm to 9pm on Saturday 13 January, the free festival will host thousands of people as they launch colourful kites into the air, with kites and threads available to purchase on the day.

The event will also feature an all-day live DJ, jumping castles, a variety of food and all-day entertainment.

Event organiser Manthan Parikh said there are still a few more surprise additions to the festival to come.

“Getting into the fifth year is very exciting and we are growing every year,” he said.

“We have a few surprises this year for the attendees which we have trialed recently.

“We always want people to have unique experiences at our event.”

Mr Parikh said they are expecting about 6000 to 8000 people through the gates during the event.

“This event is open for everyone,” he said.

“We want as many people as possible to enjoy the family time. We have variety of food, amusement rides for kids.”
