Alaçatı Kite Festival

Alaçatı is one of the tourist destinations in Turkey and hosts the Alaçatı Kite Festival every year in April. The festival is an event where colourful and creative kites dance in the sky.

The Alaçatı Kite Festival was started in 2002 and has been welcomed with great interest every year since then. The festival offers many events and activities for both local and foreign visitors.

During the festival, a large area on one of the windy beaches of Alaçatı is reserved as a kite flying area. In this area, kite lovers raise the kites they have designed themselves to the sky. Kite making and kite flying lessons are also given during the festival.

One of the most important events of the festival is the kite competition where colourful and creative kites compete. Participants compete with kites they have prepared with their own unique designs. The jury selects and awards the most creative and aesthetic looking kites.

Alaçatı Kite Festival offers many activities not only for kite enthusiasts but also for children and families. During the festival, fun activities such as face painting, inflatable toys and kite making workshops are organised for children.

Alaçatı Kite Festival is a contribution to Turkey's rich cultural heritage and increases the touristic potential of Alaçatı. The festival offers visitors a colourful and enjoyable experience and gives them the opportunity to discover the natural beauties of Alaçatı.
