It reassures us of better days to come \u2013 hope removes fear. As kites soar against the adverse winds, it helps us to dream about a future filled with possibilities, holding on and never giving up,\u201d says Dr Ingrid Daniels, Cape Mental Health CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOctober provides the perfect opportunity to venture outdoors, embrace the thrill of flying a kite, and immerse yourself in a world of play and freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fun-for-all\">Fun for all<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents took the opportunity to take their children to the beach while flying the kites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was so amazing. It was a fun-filled and relaxing afternoon with my children,\u201d says Mark Lewis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to one of the children who was completely mesmerised by all the kites, Jemma van Vuuren (8), she said she had never seen so many kites in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love kites. My dad and I always fly kites,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kite Festival\u2019s annual Pop-Up Fly enjoys support to view the \u201cshow kites\u201d flown by South African kiters Mari Ware-Lane, Bradley Ware-Lane, Bobby Gathoo, Brian Skinner, Wesley Beales, Frans Marais and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barbara Meyer from Cape Mental Health told<em> TygerBurger<\/em> the vibe and energy at Melkbosstrand was one for the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe weather was lovely and everyone were flying their kites. Cape Mental Health aimed to lift everyone\u2019s spirit for the day. It\u2019s not only about flying a kite but also to raise awareness around mental health,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_92e817a8\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9715\/60483b223cfc4a25a17a660dd0575c43.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/c16f5f86b58e4ae3971a50268be7ca8f.jpg\" title=\"A penguin kite was also soaring the air.PHOTO: Kailin Daniels\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">A penguin kite was also soaring the air.PHOTO: Kailin Daniels<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9715\/0c7014be123b465ba02e328e6f3c2742.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/9889caab9d9947b0a0f0b645827950fd.jpg\" title=\"The children loved the \u201cPeppa Pig\u201d kite.PHOTO: Sulize Terreblanche\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">The children loved the \u201cPeppa Pig\u201d kite.PHOTO: Sulize Terreblanche<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9715\/3a752a579b574a39ab5333e908b98399.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/42d95f147ec64d9b9235e3f3d05c63fc.jpg\" title=\"The giant lizard was also on display.PHOTO: Sulize Terreblanche.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">The giant lizard was also on display.PHOTO: Sulize Terreblanche.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9715\/553ddf06e00241f193bcd732dc5baeae.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/d5e1a1f037ad42d4aa7e754296a3bb97.jpg\" title=\"An aircraft also took flight at the festival.PHOTO: Sulize Terreblanche.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">An aircraft also took flight at the festival.PHOTO: Sulize Terreblanche.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9715\/f8f4d77f8abe49f4938f1bf9e4e1aaac.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bb10c3d98a014670a1e461461e022ab3.jpg\" title=\"Finding Nemo was one of the kites seen at the festival.PHOTO: Sulize Terreblanche.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Finding Nemo was one of the kites seen at the festival.PHOTO: Sulize Terreblanche.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-about-the-kite-festival\">More about the Kite Festival<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1994, Cape Mental Health has proudly hosted the Cape Town Kite Festival, Africa\u2019s oldest kiting event, dedicated to raising funds and advocating for mental wellness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more, visit: www.capementalhealth.co.za\/TheSkyIsYourCanvas.
