CAPE FEAR KITE FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND

Join the fun as serious kite flyers share their sky art at the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area for the Cape Fear Kite Festival presented by the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce. This is the final kite event of the professional kite flying season with more than just your average kites filling the sky on the seashore.

See incredible shapes, sizes, styles and of course colors as they float, soar and ride the air.

Festivities begin at Kure Beach on Friday morning as a few kites take to the air near the Kure Beach Pier. The fun continues Friday night at the Carolina Beach Beachfront at the Boardwalk with a special "Night with Kites" and then during both Saturday and Sunday at Fort Fisher.

Check social media for updates and reach out to the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce with any questions. 

Live bands, food trucks and other vendors will attend the festival on Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free and all events are handicap accessible.
