37 Years of Kite Festival in Potsdam
The International Kite Festival in Volkspark Potsdam has been held annually since 1990, making it one of Germany's most traditional kite festivals. The venue is the Großer Wiesenpark in Volkspark Potsdam, a spacious green area north of the city center, offering ideal conditions for kite flying with its open spaces. The organizer is Volkspark Potsdam, which cultivates the festival as a central family format in its annual calendar.
Kites of All Categories
Professional kite flyers from across Europe demonstrate their art with single-line kites, dual-line stunt kites, and quad-line kites, choreographing figures in the sky to music. There is also a hands-on area where visitors can fly their own kites – including kite rentals and tips from experienced pilots.
Family Program
Beyond the pure kite show, the Kite Festival is a family event: stage shows, large bouncy castles, a family rally across the grounds, and food trucks offering various options make the day enjoyable. Ticket prices are family-friendly – adults €7, children aged 5–16 €3.50, family ticket €15, children under 5 free. Volkspark annual pass holders receive a 50% discount.
Arrival by Public Transport and Bicycle
As parking at Volkspark is limited, the organizers recommend arriving by bicycle or public transport. Volkspark is well-connected via tram line 92/96 and Potsdam city bus lines. Those arriving by car should allow time for parking.
Potsdam's Summer Finale
The Kite Festival traditionally marks the end of the warm season in Volkspark – a weekend when the park is used to its full potential once more before autumn sets in. For Potsdam families, the Kite Festival is a fixed date, and for day-trippers from Berlin, it's a worthwhile occasion to spend a Sunday in Volkspark.
