Description:
In 2013, the Redcliffe KiteFest will be given a new lease of life with a number of exciting changes. Expected to attract a crowd of over 20,000 people, visitors will revel in a weekend of roaming through hundreds of speciality arts and craft markets, gourmet food stalls, kite displays, live entertainment, aerobatic displays, kiteâ€making workshops and amusement rides.
The sky will come alive with colour and kites in various shapes and sizes that will leave visitors spellbound. An unprecedented lineâ€up of the world’s most popular and
successful kite flyers on Australian soil will attend the 2013 festival, including the USA/Canadian iQuad Stunt Team, Japanese Kite Master Mikio Toki, New Zealand’s Simon Chisnall and some of the best flyers from every corner of Australia.
The fun won’t stop on Saturday afternoon, instead it will continue on into the evening with the debut of the Saturday Night Concert from 5pm – 10pm. A massive fireworks display will light up the sky at 8pm after a spectacular fire show. The concert will be hosted by the loveable larrikins Ben and Stacey from ’12 Big Brother and will feature an “Aussie Legends†lineâ€up of tribute bands featuring ACCA/DACCA, Chisel Revived and the Ultimate Bee Gees show.
Also being introduced in 2013 will be a feast for the senses with the mini Seafood & Wine Festival spoiling visitors for choice with carefully selected stalls of fresh and cooked seafood, wine, cheese and other tantalising food options over the weekend. This area will include the Seafood Stage with acoustic and laidback performances all
weekend as well as a Seafood and Wine Kitchen.
