International Kite Festival: 3 days of beauty and fun
The 1,500 meters of Jesolo’s beach form the flying arena of the international kite festival, the beating heart of an event that attracts enthusiasts, professionals, and curious people. Among the participating nations (Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Malta, Colombia, Dubai, and Slovenia), there is a guest of honor: Thailand, where kites have been part of the people’s culture for 700 years.
During the event, each country will fly kites typical of its nation in a festive atmosphere. Thanks to this melting pot of traditions and cultures, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about new types of kites, deal with enthusiasts and professionals, and meet new friends.
