Kite festival taking flight in region again
The Gazette
|June 02, 2025
REDCAR is hosting its second kite festival with a new street food market. Thousands of people are again expected to attend the second Redcar Kite Festival after more than 17,000 attended the inaugural event last summer.
There will again be a range of free and low cost activities for all ages, with some of the most spectacular and largest kites in the world on display.
This year will also see the introduction of a market on the eve of the festival on Friday, June 13, opening from 4 to 9pm. Organisers say the Majuba Sunset Market will have “delicious street food and chilled out music from DJs”.
Both days of the festival itself will see kite flying displays by the Northern Kite Group in beach arenas including displays to music, stunt kites, kite ballet, inflatable kites and the chance for kids to fly a kite.
Elsewhere, visitors can take part in kite making workshops with Infinite Arts; Rockpool School (Saturday); Big Science workshops (Sunday); Nutkhut Kites of Asia kite making and storytelling and artist-led Make-Your-Own-Jellyfish workshops.
