Russell Birdman Festival
Russell Birdman Festival - wild and wacky fun! And perfect for the school holidays!

The highly successful 3-day Birdman Festival is set to captivate crowds again this year when it kicks off on Friday with Mural painting for the kids, a mini ironman for kids and the highly entertaining "Drag Race!"

A busy day on the Saturday with lots of activities going on - the Wonky Bike, Cook-offs, spaghetti eating competitions, dinghy races and paper plane flying! Then it leads up to the spectacular Birdman Competition! The "birdmen" can spend months creating their flying machines and costumes before they leap off Russell Wharf. Much effort is put into entertaining the crowd, or they can take up the challenge for the farthest flight. All entry details are on the website (http://www.birdman.co.nz/).

Location: Russell Wharf, Cass Street, Russell

October 4 - 6
