The family-style event will also feature FREE kite competitions and kite-building classes for all ages, as well as music, food and refreshments available for purchase.
Event-goers are encouraged to come out to fly their kites, attend a kite-making class and make their own paper kites for free. Kites will also, be available for purchase, starting at $5. Kite competitions will include prizes for the best homemade kites, highest flying kites, prettiest kites, and kites with the longest tails.
