Back to SearchDIEPPE, NB — Numerous kite flyers will flock from throughout the world to attend the 12th edition of the Dieppe Kite International Festival from August 10-14 at Dover Park.
There will be several musical performances for all tastes, a kids’ zone with bouncy castles, candy showers and a creation tent that draws more than 3,000 children each year. Kite demonstrations, Rokkaku fighting, stunt kites and giant kites will also be featured.
“Again this year, there will be many kites of all colours and of all imaginable forms. Here’s to hoping for a windy day!”, says Philippe Losier, Chairman, Organizing Committee.
