The 2022 St Anne’s Kite Festival will take place in September. Joined by kite teams from across the UK, the event is a partnership between Fylde Council and kite fliers SmileFactor10 will make the skies above St Anne’s seafront awash with colour on Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday as fabulous display kites take to the air on the beach adjacent to the pier.

There is a planned illuminated kite flying evening on Friday 2nd September at dusk. The event will be spaced out to allow for plenty of social distancing and there will be a fairground, a stage for music and entertainment and additional stalls on the Promenade, so if you’re looking for refreshments you are very much encouraged to visit the town centre as well or bring your own picnic.

Weather permitting, the event promises a thrilling and thoroughly enjoyable day out for young and old alike. Timings for this year are as follows:

• Friday 2nd – 6pm onwards
• Saturday 3rd – 11am to 5pm
• Sunday 4th – 11am to 4pm

Please note the event is entirely weather dependent and the planned programme may be changed without notice, for safety reasons. The dates have been chosen as the planned tides support this.
