2nd Annual Kite Festival April 25, 2026 10am – 4pm
Join the Coxhall Guild for a free Kite Festival.
Whether you build a kite from scratch or bring your own, every age from toddler to grandparent can share in the joy of flying a kite! Colorful kites of all sizes and shapes will be flying high over the grounds of Coxhall Gardens. Guild volunteers will help the first 300 guests build a simple sled kite between the hours of 10 am and 2 pm. We will also have premade kites ready for decoration while supplies last.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. We will have entertaining programs, concessions and vendor booths with items available for purchase. HKS members from around the region will also fly a wide variety of kites in a professional kite flying demonstration.
