Description:
The Uptime 21st annual Santa Barbara Kite Festival, originally set for April 9th, has been rescheduled. The kite festival’s new date is 11am-4pm, Sunday, April 23rd, 2006. The festival will be held in the “Great Meadow” on the west campus of Santa Barbara City College. The blufftop lawn overlooks the beautiful Santa Barbara harbor and breakwater and is a perfect location for kite flying. Parking is plentiful on campus and admission to the festival is free.
April is National Kite Flying Month. The 21st annual Santa Barbara Kite Festival is always a fun-filled family-style affair featuring kites of all sizes, shapes and colors. Flyers of all abilities are welcome. Competitions range from “kite fighting” and “sport flying” for skilled flyers, to the more accessible categories such as “most beautiful”, “highest flying”, and “largest kites”. One of the most popular events held throughout the day is the “tail chase” for children. Children in various age groups try to catch the tail of a kite as it dips and dives through the air. Prizes will be awarded in most categories. Kites will be available for purchase at the festival. The festival is co-sponsored by radio stations KRUZ 97.5 fm and MAGIC 106.3 fm KMGQ.

This year’s festival was moved to 4/23 to accommodate a memorial service that ultimately was held elsewhere! Cest la vie.
