Filey Kite Festival

The skies above Filey are set to come alive once again, held at the scenic Filey Brigg Country Park, this free, family-friendly event promises a weekend of vibrant displays, community spirit, and coastal charm.

Now a firm favourite in the town’s events calendar, the festival draws kite enthusiasts and curious visitors alike to witness a dazzling array of kites soaring above the Yorkshire coast. From giant inflatable creatures to intricate, high-performance designs, the festival showcases the creativity and skill of some of the UK’s top kite flyers.

Adding even more flavour to the weekend, the Filey Food Festival will once again run alongside the kite festival. This popular collaboration means visitors can enjoy not only the visual spectacle in the sky but also a rich variety of food and drink on the ground.

Expect a mouth-watering selection of hot meals, sweet treats, snacks, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty lunch, a refreshing drink, or something indulgent, the food festival offers something for every taste. Local traders and producers will be showcasing their best, making it a great opportunity to sample regional flavours and support small businesses.

The festival isn’t just about what’s happening in the sky. On the ground, there’s plenty to keep the whole family entertained. Children can enjoy traditional fairground rides, while adults can browse a variety of stalls offering crafts, gifts, and local produce.
