According to information from the press conference, at least 12 countries and territories have confirmed their participation in the Quang Nam International Kite Festival 2024, including: Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Cambodia; in addition, there will be representatives from the Asian Kite Association. The participating countries will bring more than 100 different types of kites to the festival.
The festival takes place from July 25th to 28th at the beach near Hoiana Resort (Tay Son Tay village, Duy Hai commune, Duy Xuyen district). A highlight of the festival is the dazzling LED kite flying under the starlight on the evenings of July 26th, 27th, and 28th. Especially, the evening of July 27th will feature a grand music festival welcoming the appearance of famous young singers.
The festival will provide an open space for visitors and the community to enjoy impressive kite performances, appearing for the first time in Quang Nam. The organizers will set up an open viewing area for the community (an open beach with no invitation required).
In addition, there will be a festival area with limited attendees, featuring exhibition booths; a kite-making experience; food and beverage stalls; and opportunities to enjoy performing arts...
Speaking at the press conference, Mr. Van Ba Son, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said that the Quang Nam tourism industry expects this International Kite Festival to develop into a cultural, artistic, and tourism event of international stature and will be held annually in Quang Nam.
The event will be a place for exchange, sharing, preservation, and promotion of kite-flying and kite-making art by domestic and international artisans. It is hoped that the festival will be a unique, high-class artistic performance, attracting the attention and appreciation of tourists from both within and outside the country.
Steve Wolstenholme, President and CEO of Hoiana, said: "As the organizer, Hoiana promises to create a vibrant space for showcasing and displaying artistic kites, along with exciting and high-class entertainment activities."
We also hope that the International Kite Festival will soon become a distinct local brand, making Quang Nam a magnet for tourists in Central Vietnam."
In addition to artistic kite displays, the festival offers many other attractive activities. Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in kite-making classes under the enthusiastic guidance of artisans, explore diverse and rich cuisine, enjoy magic shows, spectacular fire dance performances... and many other impressive entertainment activities. All of this promises to create a vibrant and joyful festival atmosphere.
