Windless Kite fly

This annual event has been a great hit for many years. It's changed its name through time but has now settled on Grays Harbor Festival of Colors. Thursday June 4 will be a themed fly after setting up the field. Friday June 5 will display Arches and Trains during the day, and a night fly at dusk. Saturday is Kid's Kitemaking, Running of the Bols, and Mass Ascension events. Meet in Ocean Shores in front of the Shilo Inn Hotel. Access near the Chance a La Mer approach, in the middle of town. Sport kites will be on the south side of the approach with single lines to the north. Festival brochure available at Ocean Shores Kites shop.

Yo fliers, this is a single day festival in Kenai, Alaska. Come fly in the Alaska sunshine. We'll be at Millennium Square Park on the Spur View Dr & Frontage Road. Watch our "Alaskiters" Facebook page.

Come and hang out with the Northwest Sport Kite League fliers for a sport kite demo workshop. Learn some techniques and how-to's. This will be the only Big Speaker On The Beach event this year. We'll be at Long Beach (WA) just off the Promenade. Watch the "NWSKL" Facebook page.
