Usedom Kite Festival
The kites are taking flight in Karlshagen: Every year, the Usedom Kite Festival brings together kite enthusiasts for a spectacular program in Karlshagen. Colorful kites in the sky, as well as “real” dragons on the beach and at the Baltic resort’s concert shell, will be out and about this weekend. There will also be live music and plenty of opportunities for young and old alike to join in the fun.
