Friday - Sunday
The Rockaway Beach Kite Festival returns June 14th – 16th at the Ocean’s Edge Wayside.
Sponsored by the American Kitefliers Association, the annual Rockaway Beach Kite Festival features professional and amateur kite fliers at the new Ocean’s Edge Wayside. The American Kitefliers Association is the largest organized group of kiters in the world and travels worldwide to spread the joy of kiting to people of all ages and skills. The event offers contests in a friendly, unofficial environment. Participants can compete to win awards for having the nicest kite, the kite that drags on the ground the longest before becoming airborne, and many other events. During special classes, children can join in the fun as they build and learn to fly small kites.
Anyone who wants to bring their own kite to fly is welcome and encouraged. The Rockaway Beach Kite Festival also features live music, kite exhibitions, an array of vendors, and tasty meals all weekend. Come hungry, and bring a camera to photograph the beautiful kites that will grace the skies along the beach at the Ocean’s Edge Wayside.
