Kite Festival Cadzand 2026

-

After our previous experiences at different kite festivals, we headed to Cadzand in 2026. The event lasted two days, but we went on Saturday. And what a lucky day we picked!

The wind was really good, giving us the perfect conditions to fly our quadline kites. We got lots of questions from curious visitors, and we were more than happy to stop, explain and share our passion for kites and flying.

Our ladybugs were a big hit with the children too. 🐞 They attracted plenty of smiles and curious little faces, which is always wonderful to see.

But the real attention came when Tony started setting up our swallows. Almost immediately, people gathered around us, curious to see what we were building. Our little swallows clearly made an impression! It was fantastic to see so many people interested in our kite project.

And then, as the cherry on top, we got a wonderful and completely unexpected surprise. Some very good friends came to visit us! ❤️ They even helped us pack everything up and carry it back to the car.

After such a lovely day, we ended it by having a drink together and enjoying some more time with our friends.

Good wind, beautiful kites, curious visitors, happy children, our swallows, and an unexpected visit from dear friends.

Sadly, we later learned that this would be the last edition of the Cadzand kite festival. We really hope that someone else will take over the organisation in the future, so this lovely event can continue. 🤞

Cadzand 2026 was definitely a day to remember! 🪁🐞🕊️

We are two passionate amateur kite flyers who simply love being outdoors and enjoying the wind.  Whether we're flying colourful single-line display kites , dual-line sport kites , or quad-line kites , every session brings fun, relaxation and a new challenge. For us, kite flying is much more than a hobby. It's a way to step away from everyday life, spend quality time together and appreciate nature. It also helps us stay positive when life becomes challenging, giving us a healthy distraction and a chance to focus on the moment instead of our worries. On this website, we share our adventures, photos, videos, equipment, tips and the events we visit. We're not experts—just two enthusiasts who enjoy learning, flying and meeting fellow kite lovers along the way. Thanks for stopping by, and we hope our passion inspires you to get outside, catch the wind and enjoy the amazing world of kites. Keep the wind in your lines... Keep KiteOn! Tony-Marieke

Pr ism hypnotist Fire In the summer of 2025, we headed to Zeebrugge, where a monthly kite gathering takes place, organised through  https://www.tweelijner.be/ We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt very comfortable among the other kite flyers. At that time, we didn’t have much experience with performing tricks with a Dual-Line kite. Luckily, we quickly received lots of advice and useful tips, for which we are incredibly grateful. We learned not only more about the tricks themselves, but also about which equipment would be better for us to buy in the future and which lines would be most suitable. We were amazed by how quickly and effortlessly the experienced flyers performed their tricks. 😍 It all looked so easy… but we now realise how much practice, feeling and technique is involved. We still have a lot to learn! 😉 Our main focus is currently on Quad-Line flying. That is where we want to continue developing our skills and gaining more experience. But we definitely want ...
