Celebrate National Kite Month with Parks & Recreation during one of our first events of the season with our 2025 Kite Fest – an exciting event celebrating kites and all things aerial! We invite you to get out and play and come fly a kite with us. Enjoy acoustic ukulele and guitar performances, face painting, airbrush tattoos, bounce houses, and more.
