Ōtaki Kite Festival
Wellington Ōtaki Beach, Marine Parade Ōtaki Kapiti Coast https://www.myguidewellington.com/events/otaki-kite-festival VISIT WEBSITE
During the first weekend of February 2021, Ōtaki Beach will be transformed with hundreds of colourful kites taking to the skies.
Professionals and enthusiasts from New Zealand and beyond will steer the kites over the beach and ocean. The two day festival features a full lineup of events, market stalls and entertainment.
The real drawcard, however, are the kites. Every kind imaginable will be on display - tiny, large, acrobatic, single line, bizarre, traditional, Māori, international - you name it, it’s there.
This year also includes a New Zealand-wide first, with the special kite boat towing show, where huge and graceful kites will be flown high above the boats they’re tethered to.
Admission is free.
