This schedule of events is flexible and subject to change without notice due to wind and crowd conditions on festival day. The festival has created a “safe flying zone” (the rectangular area bordered by neon safety tape) for the festival events. Please respect the festival’s safe flying zone and the participants competing inside the zone area. Do not fly your kite or your child’s kite over the “safe flying zone” area. Free flying of your kite is allowed and encouraged all day long outside of “safe flying zone” (there is plenty of room to fly outside of the zone).
