Pontiac Tourism has been working with Chicago Kite, Illinois Kite Enthusiast Club, and Sparling Entertainment to bring the first annual Pontiac Kite Festival to town! August 25th and 26th, 2007 at the Pontiac Rec Plex from 10 - 5 PM daily. Huge crowds are expected to turn out to make the Pontiac Kite Festival a soaring success. This family oriented event features a gigantic purple octopus, a huge gecko and many other large singleline and quadline kites. Some of the state’s best kitefliers, and national champion winners will be on hand to answer questions and demonstrate their skills. There is plenty of space for you to fly your own kite. Bring a kite, or buy a kite from Chicagokite/Kite Harbor Shop, who will be on site. Bring a chair and sit back and enjoy watching the sky fill with color.
