Description:

Arguably America’s largest kite festival, the WIKF features the 14th Annual East Coast Stunt Kite Championships (ECSKC), the World Indoor Kite Competition, and the Wild Wheels Buggy Blast. Activities begin on Friday, our Media Day, when the beach is officially opened for the season. A Children’s workshop is followed by a Kite Show featuring special guests and an overview of kiting. The Wild Wheels Buugy Blast, which began on Thursday, holds races on the hardpack at water’s edge. At the same time, the ECSKC Judge’s Workshop takes place. This is followed by a Welcome Barbecue at the Rio Motel and a Night Fly/Show on the beach. On Saturday, the boardwalk on the beach features children’s games and activities, a food court and displays by sponsors. Guest fliers are featured on an exhibition field. Free lessons on sport kites are offered to the public, as well as buggy rides and workshops. On Saturday night, the annual banquet and auction is held in the WW Convention Center. On Sunday the second day of the ECSKC and more of the same on huge exhibition fields. Fighter Kite, Club Display & Rokkaku Challenges are planned. On Monday, we go indoors for the World Indoor Kite Competition.
