Catch the Wind kite festival returns to Morecambe in July

One of the top family events of the summertime in Morecambe, Catch the Wind is a fun free festival that appeals to all ages.

Enjoy impressive kites of all shapes and sizes flown by professional kite flyers, or bring your own kite and fly it on the beach.

Across the weekend, there will be a lively programme of excellent music, promenading performers, dance and environmentally themed arts and craft workshops.

More Music are proud to present Prodigal UPG’s new commission from The Tide and Time Bell organisation "On the Strandline: a street ballet of performance parkour.”

As well as four performances over the weekend they’ll be running a workshop on Friday July 8 where local people will have the chance to make a new scene in the show.

On Sunday July 10 The Kakatsitsi Master Drummers will be performing. They are a group of traditional drummers, dancers and singers from the Ga tribe of Southern Ghana.

Sunday will also feature carnival artists The Cacophany Arkestra who will be sharing their new climate change themed show “Insektageddon”.

Catch the Wind is supported by Morecambe Town Council, Lancaster City Council and Morecambe Bid.

This event is free.
