With summer slowly starting to turn to autumn and the days get more blustery it means that the weather is becoming perfect for the very popular International Kite & Wind Festival in Gharb.

This festival always entices thousands of visitors who want to experience the sight of skies full of colourful kites in all forms and sizes forming an incredible display over the San Dimitri area of the locality.

This 6th edition of the festival, organised by the Gharb Local Council with the support of the Cultural Heritage Directorate within the Ministry for Gozo, will be open from 9.30am onwards on both days.

Internationally renowned kite fliers will be performing numerous entertaining acrobatic kite tricks and routines to music and there will also be kite making workshops.

Bookings for the free traditional kite making workshops are now open.

Workshops are for ages 4-years and upwards (minors to be accompanied by an adult).
