Colour The Sky Kite Festival at Rosebud, 7th March 2010

The sixth kite festival at Rosebud will be held beside the pier at Jetty Road, on Sunday 7th March from 11am to 5pm, and the skies of Rosebud will once again be alive with a myriad of colourful kites.

This year sees Craig Hansen, from Peter Lynn Kites in New Zealand, participate in the festival flying some of the country’s biggest kites. With massive dinosaurs, octopus and dragons, the sight will be magnificent. Together with the demonstration flying from members of the Australian Kite Association, including a World Champion Flyer, spectators are in for a real treat.

Throughout the day children can participate in workshops for kite making, craft and circus skills and enjoy carnival rides and a massive water slide. Roving clowns, musicians and stiltwalkers will keep the entire family entertained while on stage the music will include local bands, African drumming bands and popular children’s entertainers.

There will be hot food, ice cream and coffee stalls, so bring a chair or rug and relax for a few hours in these spectacular colourful surroundings.

Admission free. This event is organized by Rosebud Chamber of Commerce and supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire, Yellow Pages, Rosebud Plaza, Rosebud Cinema, the Fairfax Newspaper Group and Rosebud Central.
