- Story Text: A kite with a size of 550 square metres (1,800 square feet) lifted off at the 18th annual kite festival in Scheveningen, in the Netherlands on Sunday (July 2).
It took three tons of pressure, more than 40 people and one tractor to lift the multi-coloured kite into the air.
More than 3,000 people from 15 countries participated in the three-day kiting festival.
Beach goers were entertained by kites shaped like giant blowfish, legs clad in stockings and dragons. Some of the kites were self-propelling.
