The Bali Kite Festival is an annual event held on the island from July to October. It highlights Bali’s unique culture and draws thousands of visitors annually. The timing of the kite festival in July and August is key, as this marks the start of the windy season in Bali. The Bali Kite Festival is an annual international kite festival held in July in Padang Galak area, Sanur Beach, Bali. Traditional giant kites (4 metres in width and almost 10 metres in length) are made and flown competitively by teams from the villages (banjar) of Denpasar. The event is a seasonal religious festival intended to send a thanking message to the Hindu gods to create abundant crops and harvests. The teams consist of about 70 to 80 people, each team with its own Gamelan band, flag bearers and flyers. |
