[Berkeley] Berkeley Kite Festival Overview:
At the Berkeley Kite Festival it seems that a fresh surprise awaits around every corner. In one amphitheater you’ll find multi-line competitions of the Bay Area Sport Kite League. In another you’ll find more events and competitions, such as the candy drops and rokkaku battles. Look to the north and you will see the traditional kites of our special guests from the Sode-cho Kite-Flying Society of Hamamatsu, Japan. In the upper field you’ll find the giant creature kite show of the Berkeley Kite Wranglers. Walk down to the lower field near the main entrance and you will find Ray Bethell, the “One-Man Team,” wowing the crowds.

Just up the hill from Ray, visitors can get hands-on demonstrations of all the latest products from Revolution Kites and Prism Designs on the demonstration fields. Backing up the demo fields is the giant HighlineKites.com tent, where you can get the latest kites. Behind the kite tent you’ll see hundreds of kids enjoying the free kite making and behind them, a designated area along the ridge for families and their kites. Each area of the festival will give you a different taste of what kiting has to offer. If you find that your stomach should start to growl, simply follow ridgeline west to the widest array of food offerings ever seen at the BKF. Need a full meal? How about sushi, Thai food or seafood? Just want a snack? How about corn on the cob, pretzels or our favorite, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream? Everything looks so good, you’ll wish you could have one of each!
