They may catch the eye, but these kites' handlers would likely have preferred that they caught the wind under the unpredictable weather conditions on Aug 23, 2014.

The NTUC Income Kite Festival Singapore is back for the sixth year.

The free event presented by ACT 3 International opened on Aug 23, 2014, and ends the next day on Aug 24, 2014, at The Promontory @ Marina Bay.

Visitors can watch professional kiters show off their skills, attend kite-making workshops, view an art kite exhibition and catch arts performances at the site.

This festival has grown in size and popularity over the years.
