Asean Trade Centre to be opened in Johor Bahru

Remember what you did during windy day when you were little?

Kite right?

The experience of Pasir Gudang Kite Festival is totally different from what we were used to feel back during the childhood. Way better to be true.

Every year in the month of February, since 1995, all kite masters will gather for a week at a field in Pasir Gudang Johor to show off their new design kites, and skills to fly those giant pieces in front of thousands of spectators.

These kite fliers come from all over the world including China, Japan, Europe, Australia, New Zealand  and Asia Pacific countries. This festival has become the major platform for the kite masters to create interest and promoting giant kites to the crowd.  It is said that Pasir Gudang Kite Festival is the most well organized event of its kind.

Annually, hundreds of enormous kites are flown here, covering the sky with different colours, shapes and sizes. Participants will bring the best of their collections, fly it high up with supporters of the country hanging their banners, posters and cheering out loud. It is indeed a blast week.

Not only that, there a many other activities being held as well. Traditional kite or wau making competition, demonstration of flying wau by local people, kite workshop, cultural performance, exhibition, activities for student and kids and so many others.

Well I think the best time to come is during the last three days of the festival as every participant is trying their best to fly the best kite. Because you know what, it is not just a show, but a competition for these professional fliers with great prizes to be won. Do pay a visit and don’t miss the thrill and excitement!
