A Celebration of Wind, Creativity & Community
Free family celebration featuring kite flying, hands-on workshops, cultural exhibits, live music, and outdoor activities for all ages.
Free admission. Open to the entire community.
Why This Event Matters
The MyKingstonKids Kite Fest is more than just a day of kite flying—it's a celebration of creativity, community, and connection.
We bring families together outdoors to experience the joy of hands-on creation, the beauty of cultural traditions, and the magic that happens when our community gathers in shared wonder.
Through workshops, demonstrations, and open-sky celebration, we spark imagination, build relationships, and create memories that last far beyond the day itself.
Come fly with us.
