The skies above Amiya Raya recently transformed into a vibrant canvas of color and movement, as the “Kite at the Top” event ushered in the summer season with flair and festivity. Organized by Amiya Raya and Club Vihara in collaboration with the Kite Association of the Philippines, the day-long affair brought together families, kite enthusiasts, and outdoor lovers for a shared celebration of culture, creativity, and community.
Held against the stunning backdrop of Amiya Raya’s rolling hills and panoramic views, the event featured an impressive array of kites—from classic Filipino motifs to sleek, high-performance stunt designs. Guests marveled at the kite-flying exhibitions, where professional flyers executed precise aerial stunts and graceful synchronized routines that captured the crowd’s imagination.
Adding a sense of friendly competition, participants took part in various kite categories, including “Colorful Kite,” “Highest Flight,” and “Longest Tail.” Children and adults alike also engaged in interactive workshops, where expert members of the Kite Association of the Philippines provided guidance on building, launching, and maneuvering kites—an experience that sparked both wonder and learning.
Beyond the skies, the event embraced the spirit of a leisurely weekend. Families gathered at dedicated picnic spots, enjoyed local fare from food stalls, and soaked in the relaxed ambiance of this hillside sanctuary—turning a fun day into a memorable retreat.
More than just a visual spectacle, the event highlighted kite-flying’s enduring appeal as both a pastime and a cultural expression. “Kite Show at the Top” forms part of Amiya Raya’s broader commitment to creating family-friendly events that honor Filipino heritage while nurturing a close-knit community.
As vibrant kites danced across the summer sky, the event served as a gentle reminder of life’s simple pleasures and the importance of keeping traditions alive—especially in spaces designed to bring people closer together.
