The Scheveningen Kite Festival takes place each year on the southern part of Scheveningen Beach in the Hague.
Scheveningen is ideally situated for kite-flying, with consistent prevailing winds that blow along the length of the beach. During the festival, kite builders and enthusiasts come together from all over the world to fly the fruits of their creative labour. The skies are filled with kites of every shape and colour, flying teddy bears, elephants, fish... you name it.
Visitors can also discover the latest developments in kite-powered transport, including kite-surfers, kite-yachts, kite-skateboarders and kite-skiers.
