Lost during COVID, this popular local event has returned for 2026. It's to the left as you exit the Kingston Ferry, but you need to go up and around to access the parking lot (use Google Maps or similar). Ocean Shore Kites (Andy & Brenda) will be there assisting and with kites. BRING YOUR KITES, do some kite demo'ing, assist with the kitemaking (I'm sure they could use help with this). Food vendors will be onsite.

Years ago Washington State held annual kite festivals in Quincy (might have been the annual Blessing of theKites event). Unfortunately, it disappeared. It's baaacccckkkkk. Let's support it with our attendance. First annual. 100 free kites for the kids. Lazier Park, 1400 13th Ave SW, Quincy WA www.ThePearRadio.com LaPeraRadioTV@gmail.com 509-393-6868
Every year for MANY years the WKA has hosted a kids kitemaking table at the Fest. Started by the late Jerry Graham (WKA member and officer), he and Carl Williamson and volunteers showed kids how to put together a sled kite. Over time the table coordination was transferred to Rick White and now Rick and Bonnie Ecker coordinate the table. Funny thing, it started with about 250 kites being made by the kids. Today, the lines have become so long that we have to pre-assemble 700 kites to simply hand out. The event has been extremely popular for the military kids and it's so fun to watch them fly their kites. Location is outside the JBLM Festival Tent. If you don't have military ID, you will need to get a Visitors Pass at the Visitor Center, Main Gate.
