Ever since 1990, Sola drageklubb has organized a spectacular kite festival on the beach. In June, thousands of people gather at Hellestø beach to watch the beautiful kites fill the air. The day before the festival, a kite workshop is organized for everyone who wants to make their own kite. Every year, professional kite fliers are invited to the festival. They pose with spectacular kites on the beach.
