Since 1981 the Kite Festival has brought hundreds of wind artists and thousands of visitors to the beaches of Pinarella.

For a fortnight the sky is coloured with kites from all over the world. Every day the festival is animated by artistic, ethnic, historical and giant kites, exciting competitions and acrobatic flying displays, educational workshops, night shows and music, and a food area.

Guests of honour from far and wide bring their cultures and originality.

The Festival promotes the values of peace, human rights, sustainability, inclusion and pluralism.
