The Kite Festival will have activities for everyone to enjoy including Kite Building Contests, Pie Eating Contests, Face Painting, Bounce Houses, Crafts, Kite, and informational Vendor booths, plus various cultural performances. We will also have safety demonstrations from PG&E, Livingston Police and Fire, CHP, and Merced County Sheriff.
We expect a crowd of over 5,000. Attendees will have the opportunity to enter kite flying and building competitions and win a variety of wonderful prizes. Don’t have a kite? Don’t worry! The first 500 kids get a free Kite and we will have kite-making workshops for children to build their own kites. We will also have kite building days at local schools the week leading up to the Festival all with BLUE tails to represent the week of the young child.
There will be plenty of space for free flying kite lovers or those who prefer to stroll around and just enjoy the magnificent view and entertainment. DELICIOUS FOOD WILL BE SERVED BY KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCILS form Livingston, Planada, Atwater, and Turlock. Don’t forget to enter FREE Kite Building Contest!
