The great international kite festival on Imperia's beach
Sol&Vento - Spring Energy is the great international kite festival in Imperia, Liguria. Every spring, the beach of Borgo Marina becomes the stage for a unique aerial spectacle, with kite flyers from all over the world flying their creations in the sky of the Riviera dei Fiori.
The heart of the event is the beach, where the sky fills with color thanks to displays of single-line static kites, giant inflatables, stunt kites, and synchronized choreographies accompanied by music. A show that enchants young and old, capable of transforming a windy day into a poetic experience.
Sol&Vento is also about sports and culture: free surfing, SUP, and windsurfing lessons are held on the beach, pony and horse riding experiences, as well as kite-making workshops, exhibition stands, and a Green Area dedicated to renewable energy and sustainable mobility. On Saturday evening, the traditional beach bonfire with music, food, and tournaments concludes the first day of festivities.
With its light and colorful atmosphere, Sol&Vento is one of the events that mark the arrival of spring in Imperia and on the Riviera dei Fiori. An event that combines spectacle, sport, sustainability, and fun for the whole family, in one of the sunniest locations in Liguria.
The 25th edition of Sol&Vento - Spring Energy will be held on March 28-29, 2026, on the beach of Borgo Marina, in Imperia, from 10 AM to 7 PM on both days, with kite displays starting at 2 PM.
Among the international guests is the return of the Swiss club Carpe Diem, after ten years. The 2026 edition is organized into four areas - spectacular, institutional, commercial, and cultural - with the latter being a novelty this year.
Imperia is reachable by train and from the A10 motorway. Borgo Marina and Spiaggia d'Oro are located along the coast, between Oneglia and Porto Maurizio.
Free admission. The event takes place from 10 AM to 7 PM on both days, with kite displays starting at 2 PM.
