Kites Over Lake Michigan

The 13th Annual Kites Over Lake Michigan will be brought to you by our Title Sponsors, Fox Communities Credit Union and Shoreline Credit Union. Come and marvel at the giant show kites, precision stunt kite teams flying dual- and quad-line kites, spectacular and colorful ground displays, running of the bols, and games for kids. Learn how to fly two and quad line stunt kites from the experts. There will be a night fly on Saturday night, conditions permitting. Saturday night fireworks show after the release of Sky Lanterns on the beach. We are looking for a record breaking number of Sky Lanterns being released this year. UFO will make them available for sale on the beach, the public will be invited to join in the mass ascension. Sunday, there will be free kite making for kids and another day of kite flying and performances. Free shuttle service available to and from the beach to the Two Rivers High School (Lincoln Avenue/Hwy. 42). Please note that there is not a specific schedule of the various activities for the kite festival, save for kids kite making on Sunday from 9am to 11am, everything is dependent on wind conditions. We operate on what we call "kite time" and all activities are based on that. For example if the wind is light, the stunts teams can still fly with their low wind kites but the giant show kites will likely be grounded until the wind picks up. Activities like running of the bols and glider drops will occur regardless of the wind condition.
