Redcliffe KiteFest is on September 14 and 15 at Clontarf’s Pelican Park.

“Redcliffe KiteFest not only generates a considerable economic contribution for the City of Moreton Bay but stands as a beacon of joy and family fun for both locals and visitors alike,” Mayor Flannery says.

“Each year, it draws in more and more residents and tourists to experience the wonders of the Moreton Bay and is a highlight of Council’s commitment to providing enriching, family-friendly events and fostering a vibrant community spirit.”

Moreton Bay Region Industry & Tourism CEO Natassia Wheeler says there is a significant economic benefit for the region.

"The Redcliffe KiteFest in the City of Moreton Bay is Australia’s premier kite event and draws visitation from not just domestic but also international markets such as India and China,” Ms Wheeler says.

“After 28 years, it continues to grow and generate significant economic contribution to the local economy with this year expecting to be over $4 million.

“The Redcliffe KiteFest is an integral part of Tourism and Events Queensland It's Live! in Queensland calendar, showcasing the tremendous appeal it holds for the local community and tourists.”
