An big international event for kite flying was held in Bintulu from 22nd September - 25th September, year 2011.
This annual event started in 2005 and has ranked as the most spectacular event of its kind in the state and together with the cultural and artiste performances, it showcases the rich combination of local and international flavours for all to experience and enjoy.
Bintulu was chosen as a venue after considering its great potential since the old airport was closed down and making the basic infrastructure left behind an ideal and perfect site for the event. Its location which is not far from the seaside contributes a perfect wind blowing direction enabling kites to be flown consistently. Since then, it has become an annual event and successfully attracted large crowd witnessing and participating in this event. It has also attracted more kite enthusiasts locally and from all over the world to come to Bintulu.
