The Coxhall Guild and the Hoosier Kiteflier's Society are hosting a Kite Festival and workshop. Whether you build a kite from scratch or bring your own, every age from toddler to grandparent, can share the joy of flying a kite! Colorful kites of all sizes and shapes flying high over the grounds of Coxhall Gardens will serve as a sure sign of spring. Working with members of the Hoosier Kiteflier's Society, guild volunteers will help guests build a simple sled kite. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
We will have concessions and vendor booths with items available for purchase. Bring your camping chairs, blankets and a picnic. Overflow parking will be on the southwest side of the park near the mansion.
HKS members from around the region will also fly a wide variety of kites in a professional kite flying demonstration in the southwest field.
