The Dhiraagu Kite Festival, a cherished event that intertwines cultural heritage with community engagement, is set to color the skies of Hulhumale today. Scheduled from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Dhiraagu Beach, near the entrance of Hulhumale Phase 2, this festival invites children of all ages to partake in the timeless art of kite flying.
In a generous gesture, Dhiraagu will provide complimentary kites to all participating children, ensuring that everyone can experience the joy of this traditional pastime. Initiated in 2023, the Dhiraagu Kite Festival aims to reacquaint Maldivian youth with kite flying—a beloved cultural activity traditionally enjoyed during the month of Ramadan.
A vibrant evening filled with laughter, tradition, and kites soaring high! Families and friends came together to celebrate the spirit of Ramadan in the best way possible. 🧡

Reflecting on the festival’s success, a recent event at Malé’s artificial beach drew significant public enthusiasm, highlighting the community’s appreciation for such initiatives.
This year’s festival is not confined to the Malé area; Dhiraagu has expanded its reach, organizing kite festivals across various parts of the Maldives. This expansion underscores the company’s commitment to fostering community spirit and preserving cultural traditions during Ramadan.
Beyond the kite festival, Dhiraagu continues to introduce diverse activities and valuable offers, enriching the public’s experience throughout the holy month.
