32nd Cape Town International Kite Festival

For 24 years, the Cape Town International Kite Festival has transformed the Mother City’s skies into a breathtaking celebration of colour, creativity and community.

Owned, managed and hosted by Cape Mental Health, the festival welcomes local, national and international kite enthusiasts who gather in Cape Town to showcase spectacular kite displays and inspire visitors of all ages.

More than just a visual spectacle, the festival carries an important message of hope through its theme, “Colour The Sky.” By bringing people together in a vibrant outdoor setting, the event raises awareness of mental health while celebrating resilience, recovery and wellbeing.

As thousands of colourful kites dance above the city, visitors can enjoy a uniquely uplifting experience that highlights Cape Town as a welcoming, inclusive and vibrant destination.

From families and friends to tourists and kite enthusiasts, the festival creates unforgettable moments while adding colour, joy and positive energy to the city’s events calendar.
