Taking place every March or April, the festival sees giant dragons, whales, octopuses, and various cartoon characters take to the skies over the sandy beach. For over two decades, more than half a million spectators have come to watch the spectacular display of kites fly over the seaside town of Berck-Sur-Mer. Giant pigs actually might fly at the Berck-Sur-Mer International Kite Festival.
