Back in the Edo days, kites were considered lucky charms that help ward off fires, which were rampant at that time. Since then, a Kite Market, where kites are displayed and sold, has been held at Ōji Inari Shrine annually on the Days of the Horse in February.
For 2024, that is February 12 and February 24.
