Redcar Kite Festival

Redcar Kite Festival 2026

6th – 7th June 2026, Majuba Beach, Redcar

Redcar Kite Festival returns to the skies above Majuba Beach and there is so much going on! The free family-friendly festival will welcome some of the largest and most spectacular kites in the world, celebrating Redcar’s natural environment as the wind whips off the sea and sends the kites spiralling skyward in a spectacular display of colour and movement.

The tide times this year mean the kites will be in the sky from 12 noon to 6pm and, with even more beach arenas, the festival will be bigger than ever with even more kites in the sky flown by pilots from Northern Kite Group.

Look out for:
• Giant inflatable kites including some larger – than – life cartoon characters • Kite ballet to music • Stunt kites • Inflatable kites and Rainbow Deltas – a chance for children to fly a kite.

There will also be two days of free workshops in our Marquees-by-the-Sea including kite making workshops; fossils; rock pool schools; printmaking and more.

The main BBC Tees music stage features a fantastic line up of local and regional talent and acoustic performers will also be performing on the bandstand.

There are dozens of street food and drink stalls serving up everything from parmos to cheese toasties, gourmet burgers to hog roast; wood-fired pizza to Vietnamese; fried chicken to Indian Street Food; Korean corndogs to crepes; craft beers to cocktails and loaded fries to gyozas and bao buns.  Many of these will also be at Majuba Street Market on the eve of Kite Festival.

On site face paint, henna and glitter bars will offer glitzy festival makeovers and vintage fairground rides bring fun for all the family.
