This summer, it’s time to fly! Or at least it’s time to enjoy a unique event with cool and crazy kites! If you’re looking for family fun that promises excitement, beauty and a touch of magic, look no further than the East Coast Kite Festival, hosted by the Atlantic Kite Festival.

The Atlantic Kite Festival encourages participants to “Fly as High as You Can” and your spirits will soar as you watch the festivities. The East Coast Kite Festival takes place on Garrison Grounds at the Halifax Citadel from July 6 – 7, 2024, with free family-friendly fun. Get ready to indulge with delicious food, fun activities, and a vibrant spectacle of kites of all shapes, sizes, and colours.

The East Coast Kite Festival is a kite lover’s dream come true. Whether you’re a kite-flying enthusiast or new to the world of kites, everyone is welcome to participate. Bring your own kite and let it dance in the wind, or purchase one on-site from the selection available. If you find it tricky to catch the wind, team members will be on hand to offer guidance and assistance, ensuring that even beginners can experience the joy of kite flying.

With a breathtaking display of over 70 different kites, there will be something for everyone to admire. Kites will range from the smallest 24 by 24 cm kite to an impressive 50-foot diameter. From playful pandas and seahorses to beautiful tigers and jellyfish, the sky will come alive with floating designs.

In addition to the kites, this festival offers a range of activities for children of all ages. The Kids Fun Zone, with bouncy castles and face painting, will provide endless entertainment, guaranteeing a day of fun and laughter. Join a kite workshop session, where you and your family can learn the art of kite-making and take home a one-of-a-kind creation. Of course, no family outing is complete without delicious food, and the East Coast Kite Festival has got you covered. Food trucks and vendors will be present, offering a mouthwatering array of culinary delights to satisfy all of your cravings.

The East Coast Kite Festival at Citadel Hill is a not-to-be-missed event that promises a day of  fun, kites, and mouthwatering treats. Mark your calendars and get ready to fly!
