Kaleidoscope of Kites at the Southern Oregon Kite Festival in Brookings July 16-17

Article Image Colorful kites take to the sky in Brookings, Oregon July 16-17 at the 19th annual Southern Oregon Kite Festival, the largest invitational kite festival in the country. Since 1993, the Southern Oregon Kite Festival has brought some well-known kite fliers and kite makers to perform and display their creations on the beach. Local vendors and artists set up booths to provide eats, treats, arts and crafts. This kite festival offers free admission, free parking and free shuttle service to the event.

Kids can learn to make a kite in two free kids kite-making events at 11am each day. Featured flyers at this year's event include: John Barresi, Takkako Barresi, David and Susan Gomberg and Connor Doran, from NBC's hit show America's Got Talent. Teams will also perform in kite exhibitions. For more information about the Southern Oregon Kite Festival, contact Steve Blasdell (541) 412-2941
