19-21 April Artevento preview / 24 April-4 May Kite Festival
Pinarella
Artevento Cervia - International Kite Festival
The International Kite Festival, the world’s longest running in its 45th edition, brings hundreds of wind artists from 50 countries and thousands of visitors to the beaches of Pinarella.
This special and historic edition will last 16 days, with a preview with the exhibition Balance and Harmony from 19 April and the festival from 24 April to 4 May, all dedicated to the art of flight between shows, events and initiatives. For two weeks the sky is colored with kites from all over the world. Every day the festival is animated by artistic, ethnic, historical and giant kites, exciting competitions and acrobatic performances, educational workshops, night shows and music and a food area. A party animated by the dances of the guests of honor from Indonesia, the haka energy of the Maori from New Zealand and the creative contaminations of a colorful family of performers to live the magic of a dream made of wind art, music, theater dance, contemporary circus, acrobatic flight to the rhythm of music, "Wind Gardens", 3D & air sculptures, traditions from the world, jugglers, night shows, workshops, exhibitions and collective actions to build together a world of peace, inclusion and solidarity, and to promote the protection of the environment and biodiversity.
The edition is dedicated to 80 years of the Liberation, a theme also highlighted by the poppy, the iconic flower of memory that will inspire kites, Gardens of the Wind and workshops for children. In addition, we celebrate the 800th anniversary of San Francesco’s Canticle of the Creatures, a hymn to peace in the world, to nature and to others, thus sanctioning the collaboration with Fondazione Marcia PerugiAssisi.
The festival promotes the values of peace, human rights, sustainability, inclusion and pluralism.
