Windy Season is time for The Bali Kites Festival. Best event in bali of kiting events that take place annually between July and August (sometimes through October). The festival is slated for various dates, with main events customarily taking place along the eastern coast of Padang galak – Sanur Bali. Main preliminary events are usually held near the end of June and confirmed following favourable weather, therefore planning ahead to witness the event is usually a last-minute deal.

The Bali Kites Festival are gigantic and have evolved into increasingly bombastic proportions over the years, measuring up to four metres in width and 10 metres in length. Some other versions, such as the ‘janggan’ type have impressive flowing ribbon tails often reaching 100 metres or more in length. Jointly built at the communal ‘banjar’ village halls all over Bali, skilled youths, supervised by elders, craft bamboo frameworks for weeks up to the major event.
