KOCHI: The Kochi skyline will again be ruled by the kite flyers from across the globe. The third edition of the Kerala Kite Festival will be held from January 21 to 23. Along with Kochi, a part of the festival will be held at Vagamon as well. Kite making, flying competition and other exciting events will mark the festival, which has attracted many people during its previous editions.
The event is being organised by the Kite Life Foundation (KLF), an NGO promoted by a group of kite flyers, in association with the District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) and Kerala Tourism. “The competition will be open for all age groups irrespective of gender,” said Reema Nair, KLF council member.
“The competition will be based on three themes - the big kite, the best humanitarian message kite and the best innovative kite. Kite makers can use any material, which are either land filled products (recycled) or sourced from markets except plastic. “The winners will get prizes, certificates and membership in the Team Kerala Kite (Club) promoted by KLF,” Reema said.
“Team Kerala Kite has members from India and abroad. The KLF is invited to participate in many festivals in India and other countries. We also conduct workshops for students and offer new dimensions in kite making. The KLF uses kites for many cause related activities
that include scholarships for the students,” Reema added.
The KLF is promising an action packed aerial extravaganza with spectacular flying displays, awesome kites, colourful ground-based inflatable and air sculptors of various shapes and sizes. A spectacular array of air creations, including original air sculptures and collection of larger-than-life air kites. The festival will be held from 11 am to 6 pm.
