Description:
The 30th annual Santa Barbara Kite Festival lands Sunday, April 12th, 2015, from 11am-4pm in the “Great Meadow” west campus lawn at Santa Barbara City College. The festival’s bluff top lawn location overlooks the beautiful Santa Barbara harbor and breakwater, and is a perfect site for kite flying. Parking is plentiful on campus, and admission to the festival is free.
The Santa Barbara Kite Festival is a fun-filled family-style affair featuring kites (and flyers) of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Flyers of all abilities are welcome. 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. 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”. Kites will be available for purchase at the festival. There will also be food and beverages, and a kids zone with jumpers and family info tables.

April is Kite month in Santa Barbara.

In addition, the Santa Barbara Kite Festival was recognized in 2007 for its annual contributions to community recreation and family fun. Mayor Marty Blum agreed to author the proclamation in coordination with National Kite Month.
