Cervia, Pinarella
Artevento Cervia - International Kite Festival
One of the most anticipated spring events returns: the International Kite Festival – ARTEVENTO, now in its 46th edition.
From April 23 to May 3, the beach of Pinarella di Cervia becomes an open-air stage with over 200 artists from more than 50 countries, filling the sky with artistic, ethnic and giant kites. The programme also includes acrobatic shows, workshops, live music, and a food area.
The theme “Brother Wind” celebrates harmony between art, nature and people, while “Wonder” – meaning amazement and exploration – is the guiding concept of this edition. The guest of honour is Colombia, with the Bimana collective, leading the evocative Parade of Creatures.

A unique event that brings together cultures and generations, turning the sky into a space for connection and sharing.
