Hangouts and kite meetings 2021
In and around Switzerland.
"floating hangouts" with Thomas Horvath in Zurich. And a couple of kite festivals in and around Switzerland. You can test zero wind kites, hopefully without wind.
Due to Covid-19 everything is volatile.
Nothing is as it used to be.
January
Thomas Horvath and team wish you a wonderful, creative and floaty 2021.
March
Workshops: Kite making with Thomas Horvath.
April
34e Rencontres internationales cerfs-volants Berck-sur-MerThe huge kite festival at the Atlantic, unfortunately there's always blowing a strong wind, so nothing for me personnally. But the brut promenade wall and the hotel monoliths are appealing a lot.
40 years Cervia: Artevento Cervia
The 40th International Kite Festival on the beach of the Adriatic near Rimini. For many years the artist Claudio Capelli and his daughter Caterina have been organizing this beautiful, cosy meeting, including La Notte dei Miracoli. 40° Festival Internazionale dell'Aquilone.
May
Hangout Whit Monday 2021:
Zero wind kites on the Zurich Stadium Wasteland, the "Stadionbrache", for those who stayed at home in Zurich. The clever alternative to the return traffic jam on Gotthard. Whit Monday has tradition, there are rather few, but interesting people.
June
36th International Kite Fliers Meeting FanøKite meeting on Fanø DK. Various interesting workshops, partly with historical kites. Endless flat beaches and kites from all over the world. There are also moments without wind and the traditional kite auction.
September
Hangouts Stadionbrache Zurich
Basel Kite FestivalAn urban meeting in the Park im Grünen, formerly called Park Green-80, afternoon. If you show up early, then there might still be parking spaces, but public transport is definitely the relaxed option. Organized by Dani Wieland, play4you, 11 am – 5 pm.
October
Kite Festival FislisbachNear Baden, Aargau Switzerland. Drachenplausch.ch traditionally organizes the last kite festival of the year. Christoph Gehrig moderates, including possibly the rare flights of the Stefan Furter. Unfortunately it's often wet and cold. But mostly, finally, normal time again, "winter time".
December
Hangout Stadionbrache, Sunday December 5, 2021:
The year is coming to an end, but there is still our traditional Klausfliegen. This year on the Stadionbrache in Zurich. Didn't take place due to bad weather.
Hangouts with Thomas Horvath on the stadium wasteland Zurich
The Hardturm Stadium was demolished. The grandstand foundations made of charming concrete are framing the now asphalted playing surface and are perfect for hanging around. The spacious place for urban floating.
The whole area will be built over some day, so we hang out a few times again on the stadium wasteland in 2021.
Tram 4 directly from Zurich Main Station. When the sun is shining there is only little shade, so you might want to have some sun protection with you. You are welcome too without a kite, we have usually some with us.
See you: Thomas Horvath
