About Brisbane Kite Festival
Sunday 23 August 2026 from 10am - 3pm
Tingalpa Model Aero Club, Minnippi Parklands
The annual Brisbane Kite Festival is a fantastic day out for the whole family, with spectacular kites filling the sky and a sea of colour showcasing beautifully crafted masterpieces.
But don’t look up for too long, or you’ll miss all the action on the ground! There will be food and drink stalls, Carina Men’s Shed, kite entertainment, and plenty of space to fly your own kite. You can even purchase a kite on the day.
Free entry
A gold coin donation for parking would be appreciated.
This event is organised by the Rotary Club of Brisbane South East and the Rotary Club of Carindale, and is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.
Vuly Play is proud to be a sponsor of the Brisbane Kite Festival, a volunteer-run community event held at Minnippi Parklands. The festival brings together thousands of families for a joyful day flying kites under the clear sky, away from screens. Community-led events like this continue to play an important role in keeping outdoor play accessible and meaningful for local families.
Vuly Play is a Brisbane-born outdoor play company focused on creating active, imaginative, and durable play equipment for families who want their children to spend more time outside. From trampolines to swing sets and monkey bars. Vuly designs products that encourage movement, confidence, and everyday adventure right in the comfort of the backyard. At the heart of everything we do is a simple idea: help kids choose real-world play over screens, and make outdoor time feel exciting again.
“We’re incredibly humbled to be part of such an amazing initiative, and we hope everyone has an amazing day out.”
— Joe Andon, CEO of Vuly Play
