Mark your calendars for Saturday and Sunday, because from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the skies over the old Pavilion site (that’s between 8th and 9th Avenue North, for those who might be wondering) will be filled with colorful, soaring creations!

Learning to Fly
Don’t worry if you’ve never flown a kite before. Experts will be there to share their tricks and tips. Whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart, everyone is invited to participate! Richard Kligman, a friendly face from Klig’s Kites, is excited about the event and shared, “Everybody’s welcome. We’d love everyone to come on out. Learn how to fly a kite. You don’t have to buy a kite; just come and fly with us.” Isn’t that awesome? So swing by, and if you get the urge to buy a kite, that option will be available too.

And as you indulge in the exciting kite-flying activities, don’t forget about the delicious food! There will be tasty treats to satisfy your cravings while you soak in the sun and enjoy the scenery. With plenty of food options available, you can make a full day of it. Grab a snack, kick back, and watch the sky fill with colors—what could be better than that?
