Each year, the festival attracts thousands of visitors, including locals, Maltese residents, and international professionals, all eager to fly kites.

Minister Camilleri stated,“The International Kite and Wind Festival will not only continue to bring life to Gozo during this beautiful time of year, but it also demonstrates our commitment to strengthening sustainable tourism and Gozo’s cultural identity, particularly during the shoulder months, which have traditionally been quieter.”He went on to explain that for two full days, in one of the most picturesque open spaces in the Maltese islands, the Gozo sky will be illuminated with colours and shapes as thousands of kites of all sizes and designs fill the air.

The festival experience does not end there. Spectacular windsurfing and kite surfing shows will also take place. Workshops will be held where participants can design and create their own kites, offering an ideal experience for both children and entire families.

Attendees will also enjoy cultural performances, delicious international cuisine, and the work of local artisans, all within an atmosphere of joy, colour, and community. This event unites culture, art, nature, and entertainment in an unforgettable experience for all who attend.

Mayor of Għarb, David Apap, invited everyone to join the festival in Għarb, which has become increasingly popular and will feature around 42 international kite flyers putting on a spectacular show.

Minister Camilleri concluded by encouraging everyone to attend this unique event, which will also serve as a day of relaxation and entertainment for the whole family.
