Morecambe kite festival

The Morecambe kite festival is now in its 7th year. First started in 2002 the kiting side of the event was run by the Flying Circus display team. Following the break up of the group two years later I took on the task of bringing the kiters together to put on a display.The festival is organised by More Music and kiters from across the UK attend to make this one of the most liveliest events in the town each year. Tens of thousands of people flock to the promanade to see the weird and wonderful kites on display. There is also music, street performers, markets and food stalls to entertain the public.
