Kite Event Calendar

[Cleveland] Our monthly “Free Fly” where members get together to show off their latest kites or tell their latest stories of where they have been. We also are there to help anyone who has any problems with a kite they have with them. Theme: OSEK’s Birthday/Happiness Happens. Bring the kites that make you happiest. Cake will be served.

[Cleveland] COME FLY WITH US!
On August 22th and 23rd, 2015, the Cleveland Kite Festival will once again bring kite fliers to Edgewater Park in Cleveland. The Ohio Society for the Elevation of Kites (OSEK) has sponsored this festival for 28 years of its 38 year history as a club.
Each day’s activities begin at 11 a.m. and end at 5 p.m.
With kite flying enthusiasts from Canada now attending our festival, we became international, and now include both country’s national anthems about noon both days. The Windjammers International Performance Sport Kite Team will perform twice each day.
Open flying areas for everybody will flank a demonstration and games area in the center of the huge meadow at Edgewater Park. So bring your kites and picnics and share and enjoy the contests and summer days. Children’s kite making workshops will be held twice each day. Kites cost $3 each. No other charges are made for attendance, parking, or participation.
After the national anthems, the demo field will be used to show folks how to fly sport kites. This Learn To Fly hour will be manned by experienced members of kite clubs. After that, the field will be used for games and sky ballet demonstrations.
