18th Annual Kites NEAR Lake Michigan
September 2nd and 3rd, 11:00am – 4:00pm
Experience one of the largest kite festivals in the Midwest: incredible displays of giant show kites; precision stunt teams performing amazing aerial ballet with their kites; and spectacular and colorful ground displays!
On Sunday, another day of kite flying and performances, plus free kite-making for kids from 9 to 11 a.m.
There is no specific schedule of activities (except for kids’ kite-making on Sunday); activities are dependent upon wind conditions. If the wind is light, the stunt teams can still fly with their low-wind kites, but the giant show kites will likely be grounded until the wind picks up. Activities like running of the bols and glider drops will occur regardless of wind condition.
Food and nonalcoholic beverages available for purchase. This is the biggest fundraiser of the year for local nonprofit service clubs; support local scholarships and community projects!
