kite festivals

Outdoor flying gatherings

Kite festivals are organized events where people gather to fly kites, often competitively or as public spectacle.

They range from local community gatherings to international events drawing thousands of participants and spectators.

Some feature massive artistic kites, synchronized flying teams, or traditional fighting kites: We spent the weekend at the kite festival on the beach.
