In pictures: Catch the Wind kite festival in Morecambe

Catch the Wind kite festival was a soaring success this weekend.

Professional kite flyers brought their kites along to fly, as well as people who brought their own kites to fly on the beach.

There were plenty of kites being flown of all shapes and sizes including teddy bears, an octopus, a stingray, a frog, a skeleton and more.

The beach was packed with people flying their kites and the weather was excellent too.

As well as the kites, there was a lively and free programme of excellent music, promenading performers, street bands, and environmentally themed arts and craft workshops.

The Kakatsitsi Master Drummers, a group of traditional drummers, dancers and singers from the Ga tribe of Southern Ghana performed on Sunday.

Sunday also featured carnival artists The Cacophany Arkestra who shared their new climate change themed show “Insektageddon”.

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

This event was free.
