The Festival of Giant Kites in Berlin is a vibrant and visually stunning event where enthusiasts and artists gather to showcase massive and intricately designed kites. It takes place annually, usually at the Tempelhofer Feld, a large open space that was formerly an airport and is now one of the most expansive public parks in Berlin.
Highlights of the Festival:

Giant Kites: As the name suggests, the festival features enormous kites, some of which can reach the size of a building. These kites are often shaped like animals, mythical creatures, or intricate geometric patterns.
International Participation: The festival draws participants from around the world. Kite makers and flyers from various countries bring their unique designs and kite-flying skills, making it an international affair.
Family-Friendly Atmosphere: It's a family-oriented event with plenty of activities for children, such as kite-making workshops, face painting, and play areas. The festival encourages families to fly their own kites alongside the giant ones.
Aerial Shows: In addition to the static giant kites, there are dynamic kite-flying performances, where experienced kite flyers engage in synchronized routines, often set to music. Some kites even perform acrobatic tricks.
Cultural Exchange: Beyond the visual spectacle, the festival often features cultural exchange elements, with food stalls offering international cuisine, music performances, and exhibitions related to kite traditions from different countries.
Eco-Friendly Focus: Many participants and the event organizers emphasize sustainability, with kites often being made from recycled or eco-friendly materials.

The Tempelhofer Feld provides an ideal setting for the festival, with its wide, unobstructed fields and strong winds. Visitors can enjoy the colorful display of kites in the sky while relaxing in a picnic-like environment.

This festival typically takes place in September, taking advantage of Berlin's fall weather.
