Since 1987, hundreds of kite enthusiasts and professionals have gathered every November at the Natural Park of the Corralejo Dunes in Fuerteventura, where sweeping white sand dunes meet the infinite blues of the sea.

For one magical week, the sky fills with vibrant, imaginative kites that dance with the wind, creating breathtaking scenes.

During the International Kite Festival of Fuerteventura, you’ll see a joyful mix of kites in every shape imaginable — from dolphins, fish, and bears to cartoon characters, stars, hearts, rainbows, witches, superheroes, and even Minions. The sky becomes a canvas of creativity and color.

Over 30 years of Celebration

Now past its 30th edition, the festival has grown into a world-renowned international event, attracting participants and spectators from across the globe.

The sky of Fuerteventura becomes a stage for all kinds of kites — classic, static, giant, and even traditional Japanese Rokkaku kite battles.

The event reaches its peak during the weekend, with a packed program for both locals and tourists. Highlights include kite-making workshops for children and a magical nighttime kite show that lights up the dark sky.

Rediscover your inner child

Flying a kite is a simple yet joyful activity — a fun and mindful alternative to screen time.

It’s not just for kids: running through open spaces, feeling the wind, and guiding a kite through the air reconnects us with nature and lightness.

Whether you’re laughing with your children or simply letting go for a moment, kite flying awakens playfulness, curiosity, and wonder — and reminds us not to take life too seriously.
