Kite Festival LSC Dümpel

As soon as the Easter Bunny has hopped away, the season for the pilots of the Dümpel Air Sports Club comes to an end. On November 7 and 8, starting at 11:00 AM each day, the Dümpel Air Sports Club traditionally celebrates the end of the season with its big Kite Festival.

As usual, the airfield will be closed to air traffic on these days and will be exclusively available to young and old kite enthusiasts. Many guests from both home and abroad have already announced their attendance.

As always, many diligent helpers from the club will take care of the visitors' culinary needs. Guests can look forward to sweet and savory treats, and the organizers will adjust the selection of hot and cold beverages to the expected temperatures.

The covered flea market, first introduced last year, will also make a return due to the positive response. “This makes the visit worthwhile in any weather. Even if there's no wind for the kites, the prospect of a few bargains and plenty of delicacies is enticing,” says Frank Patt, the club's press spokesperson.

Those interested in gliding and motor flying will also have the opportunity at the Kite Festival to talk to the club's pilots about flight training and the fantastic hobby of "air sports" or even sit in a real motor or glider plane.

As in previous years, admission and parking are free, but voluntary donations to cover organizational costs are warmly welcomed. Donation boxes will be set up on the airfield grounds.

With the Kite Festival, the flying season at Dümpel comes to an end, and the planes of the LSC Dümpel head to the workshop for annual maintenance. Every Saturday until the new season, the planes will be serviced and prepared for the upcoming season. Those interested in the technology behind the controls are warmly invited to visit the workshop on a winter Saturday.
