Established in 1980 and the largest of its kind in the world, the Dieppe International Kite Festival takes place every two years and unites over a thousand professionals from five continents on Normandy’s beautiful Alabaster Coast in France.

This popular event is free to attend and, thanks to the range of activities on offer, there’s something here for everyone – including children and disabled visitors.
