The Coxhall Guild would like to thank everyone who participated in our first annual Kite Festival and made it such a success, especially the Hoosier Kiteflier's Society, Professor Steve, Gita Kapur, the Bach to Rock music school in Zionsville, Division Chief John Moriarty and the Carmel Fire Department, Sheriff Bryan Melton from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, Zing! Cafe, Kits and Kaboodle Toys, Colonel Mustard Catering, and Dennis McClintock for taking such amazing photos of our event. We also want to thank the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation staff who worked behind the scenes to help make our event possible.
We saw thousands of happy faces and hundreds of kites in the sky. Keep your eyes open for the Hoosier Kiteflier's Society flying their kites at Coxhall Gardens throughout the year and check out their website https://hoosierkite.org/ for future planned events.
We are already planning our second annual Kite Festival for April 2026. Hope to see you all there! Maggie Zoiss, Coxhall Guild Kite Festival Chair

Flying a kite—a seemingly simple activity that, in reality, is a powerful educational tool. Whether you’re looking to inject a bit of excitement into your lessons or searching for a way to blend outdoor play with structured learning, kites offer a unique blend of creativity, science, and physical activity.
Please fly your kites in the open fields north of the pavilions, on the east side of the park, or in the fields around the lakes. The southwest and northwest fields are for the professional kite demonstrations only. Please observe only in these areas, but do ask questions of the Hoosier Kiteflier's Society members!
Please park in designated parking areas. No parking in the grass. No parking along Loop Drive, other than in designated parking spots. Use the walking paths to get to the pavilions to find the other activities.
