A large number of people joined and took part in Aspire 1st International Kite Festival last 25-29 April held at Aspire Park.

People who came to the festival got the chance to watch professional kite flyers showcase their skills and took part in community activities and fun workshops aimed at providing inspiration and ideas for creating and decorating kites. They also learned tips and tricks for flying kites and easy-to-follow explanations of kite aerodynamics.

The festival kicked off on Tuesday, with teams of top international kite flyers from 13 countries competing in a range of individual and team sports kite events. A range of synchronised kite performances and displays have also taken place throughout the festival.

The festival officially ended on Saturday evening in a closing ceremony held at Aspire Park.
