2. Horseback riding

It’s always fun to ride on the back of a horse and gallop alongside your family on the open field. It’s all about outdoor fun!

3. Camping in the daytime

Setting up a tent in the field is perfect to give your family a comfortable space without missing the aerobic shows.

To feel the wind as your kite moves with it is simply exhilarating. It keeps you attuned to the wind’s erratic blows, as you gaze at the energizing vision of such a vibrant display.

For kids, it gives them an empowering feeling of flying up in the sky. It also teaches them about wind directions.

*You can purchase kites at the event bazaar.

5. Meeting friendly people

This aerial festival has a wholesome, lively ambiance that attracts fun and friendly people whom you could end up being great friends with.

6. Eating off a smorgasbord of delicious treats
