The Kite Fest takes place on Inch Beach next month.
A FUN Kite Fest fundraising event in aid of Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind (IGDB) will be held by their Tralee Branch at Inch beach on September 12.
People are encouraged to either build or bring along their own kite and enter in some fun kite competitions including “Best Hero Themed Kite”, “Best Bin Liner Kite”, “Most Colourful Kite”, “Best at Kite Flying”, and others.
Together, Creative Ireland and the Design and Crafts Council Ireland offer a range of resources to help you to get making and flying your own kite, ranging from very simple paper-based kites, or recycled ones, to more exciting designs, even musical ones.
