It is an exciting opportunity to see kites and kite fliers from around the world in a relaxed, week-long gathering. Of course, the crowds are immense, so getting close isn't always easy. Dieppe is held on the city park adjacent to the beach. The original buildings were destroyed during WWII and the area leveled and seeded with grass. And this year, activities include the World Cup competition for the best sport kite teams on the planet Dieppe is held in September of even numbered years.
Organizers create their own lists and provide direct invitations.
There may be a five hundred fliers, but it is still just a simple gathering of friends. This is the last big festival of the European season and one of the best in Europe. Huge crowds and lots of special events make it well worth attending. Aside from the usual sky full of awe-inspiring kites, Lunen incorporates three activities that set it apart from other similar festivals. First, they organize the finest night-flying competition I have ever seen.
