Parking near Vliegerfestival Scheveningen
Prebooking
What once began as a festival for kite enthusiasts has grown into one of Europe’s best-known kite festivals and the largest international kite event in the Netherlands. Every year, thousands of visitors flock to the beach to witness this extraordinary spectacle.
Scheveningen is perhaps the ideal location for a kite festival. The wide beach, the open horizon and the constant sea breeze provide perfect conditions for sending kites high into the sky. During the festival, a striking contrast emerges between the blue sea, the golden sand and the colourful creations floating high above it all. The beach becomes a gigantic open-air theatre in which the wind plays the leading role.
What makes the Kite Festival so impressive is the enormous variety of kites. Of course, you’ll see the classic diamond-shaped kite flying by, but it doesn’t stop there. Giant octopuses seem to swim through the air. Dragons soar above the surf. Imaginative figures, animals, cartoon characters and abstract works of art move with the wind. Some kites are tens of metres in size and are among the largest in Europe. They are no longer simple kites, but flying sculptures.
Perhaps that is why the festival appeals to so many people. It’s not about competition or speed. It’s about the simple joy of wind, space and wonder. Whilst the kites dance above the beach, visitors stroll along the coast, enjoy a drink on a terrace or simply gaze up at the sky. The sound of the waves provides the soundtrack to the event. The atmosphere that develops is both relaxed and spectacular.
