Featuring performances from Fire and Ice, and Something Old, Something new. A highlight of the weekend will be Charlie Sotich and his kite making workshop for the kids of Chicago. The festival will be located in a relatively small flying field, west of the main entrance. Kite flyers will have one nice area to fly during this event. The times are 10:00 am until 4:00 pm each day. The gardens were voted as the third best attraction in the Chicagoland area, so plan to spend the entire day flying kites and visiting this beautiful park.
