About this event
Giant kites in every conceivable shape take to the sky above the Daugava beside the passenger terminal, flown by international teams alongside masterclasses for anyone who wants to try. It closes Riga's birthday month with one of the most photogenic free days of the summer, and children can usually get a line in their hands.
