The sky’s the limit as imaginations take flight at Waterford arts festival

More than 300 kites took to the skies at the weekend in Waterford as the city’s 14th annual Imagine Arts Festival got under way.

Hundreds of families descended on the fields of the Waterford Institute of Technology sports campus at Carriganore to fly a kite with “the kite doctor” Matthew Kennedy and Mick Mason, “the kite juggler”.

A parade of light also took place, with local choirs singing in celebration, as willow lanterns made by school children were paraded through historic parts of Waterford City.
