Bondi Festival of the Winds

Every spring, the skies above Bondi Beach burst into colour at the Festival of the Winds, a celebration of art, culture, and the simple joy of flight. What began as a small community gathering in the late 1970s has grown into Australia’s premier kite festival, thanks to the passion of local kite flyers and the ongoing support of Waverley Council. Today, the event draws tens of thousands of visitors from across the country and around the world, all coming together on Sydney’s most iconic beach.

From giant show kites that dominate the horizon to intricate handmade creations and high-flying stunt kites, the Festival of the Winds offers something for everyone. It’s not just about the sky, either, the beach comes alive with live performances, food stalls, cultural activities, and hands-on kite-making workshops for kids and families.
