Comments:

KiteFest is Alta Mira’s signature brand and fund raising event. The last Saturday of April each year, KiteFest draws hundreds of attendees to Balloon Fiesta Park in support of families impacted by developmental disabilities. When you come to enjoy a family day and fly a kite, you will also be supporting over 1400 New Mexico families who are faced with overwhelming challenges and obstacles every day. Every dollar donated to KiteFest offsets costs allowing Alta Mira to continue to provide high quality services to individuals and their families.
