The International Kite Festival Scheveningen is the largest international kite event in the Netherlands. During the festival, the most special kites from all over the world can be admired to the south (left) of De Pier. Almost every year, the largest kite in Europe is present during the Scheveningen Kite Festival. Because of the fantastic spectacle, the event is a perfect opportunity for a fun day or weekend with children at the beach of Scheveningen!

Breathtaking spectacle 
During the Scheveningen Kite Festival, kite flyers from dozens of countries present kite shows and demonstrations in various themes and disciplines: power kiting, stunt kite flying and mega kite single-line kite flying. The shows offer a breathtaking spectacle with kites in fantastic colors, countless sizes and with the most amazing shapes. 

Fly your own kite 
There is always enough space next to the demonstration area to fly your own kite. Novice and experienced kite flyers, big or small, everyone is welcome to fly their own kite. 

Workshops for children
There are several workshops for children during the festival where they can make and decorate kites themselves. You can also buy a ready-made kite at one of the stands.
