[Callaway] Callaway Kite Flight is an amazing AKA-sanctioned event that has hosted guests from 21 nations and 28 states these past 23 years. The Kite Flight is held annually every Labor Day weekend at Foster Smith’s field just 4 miles SE of Callaway, NE. The Kite Flight will be held Aug 31-Sept 1, 2013 from 10am- 5pm. The large groomed pasture has ample room for spectators and professional or amateur kite flyers. In the Village of Callaway you can find free camping located at Morgan Park. There is ample room to park RV’s, campers, tents, etc. There are concessions at the Kite Flight location and various Callaway organizations and businesses will provide other options for food and entertainment during your visit. We welcome all visitors and look forward to meeting you. Visit our website at CallawayKiteFlight.com for pictures and more information.

[Two Rivers] The 8th Annual Kites Over Lake Michigan continues to grow in size and reputation. This is now one of the largest kite festivals in the Midwest and attracts kitefliers from all over. Come and marvel at the giant show kites, precision stunt kite teams flying dual- and quad-line kites, spectacular and colorful ground displays, running of the bols, and games for kids. Learn how to fly two and quad line stunt kites from the experts. There will be a night fly on Saturday night and a bonfire on the beach. Once again there will be the Fireworks Show after the release of Sky Lanterns on the beach. Back by popular demand for the second time is the Tesla Coils demonstration on Saturday night. We are looking for a record breaking number of Sky Lanterns being released this year. UFO will make them available for sale on the beach and the public will be invited to join in the mass ascension. On Sunday, there will be free kite making for kids and another day of kite flying and performances. Free shuttle service available to and from the beach at designated downtown areas.
Please note that there is not a specific schedule of the various activities for the kite festival, save for kids kite making on Sunday Sept. 1st, from 9am to 11am, because everything is dependent on the wind conditions at that time. We operate on what we call "kite time" and all activities are based on that. For example if the wind is light, the stunts teams can still fly with their low wind kites but the giant show kites will likely be grounded until the wind picks up. Activities like running of the bols and glider drops will occur regardless of the wind condition.
