St Annes International Kite Festival

Sunday 31 August, 12:00

The skies above St Anne's seafront will be awash with colour as fabulous display kites take to the air on the beach adjacent to the pier.

There will be five flying arenas on the beach, including one outside of the dog control zone, so visitors with dogs can get close up to some of the kite action. Entry is FREE.

There is an illuminated kite flying evening on Friday 29th August. There will be a fairground on the beach and additional food and drink stalls on the Promenade, so if you’re looking for refreshments you are very much encouraged to visit the town centre too or bring your own picnic.

Weather permitting, the event promises a thrilling and thoroughly enjoyable trip out for young and old alike.
