DIEPPE INTERNATIONAL KITE FESTIVAL

Creative pavilion

The workshop where flying dreams are born

Be inspired by the art of kite-making in the making!

At the heart of the festival village, this unique pavilion offers visitors the chance to witness the birth and repair of kites.

Here, the creators work in full view of the public, adjusting the bridles, trimming the canopy, putting the finishing touches to their creations…

🧵 On the programme in this pavilion:

  • Meet the artists of the wind: discover the skills of kite flyers from the four corners of the world, who hand-make delicate pieces combining tradition and innovation.
  • Continuous demonstrations: see up close how these fragile works of art are put together and take to the skies in the wind.
  • Creative competition 2025: on the theme of “Asymmetrical balance“, artists compete inventively to design kites that defy the laws of symmetry. Visitors are invited to vote for their favourite on the morning of Saturday 20 September.

🗳️ Vote for your favourite kite!

On the afternoon of Saturday 20 September, discover the works entered in the design competition in the pavilion and take part in the People’s Choice Award!
