The sky over Miami Beach will display a marvelous array of colors and figures from hundreds of kites in the air during the 20th annual Kite Day Kite Festival at Haulover Park

Expect to see the 100 foot flying squid, 30 foot flying scuba man, 300 sq foot parafoils. 30 foot flying Nemo Fish 150 foot flying rainbow and more.

This year we are highlighting the "Kites of the Caribbean". It's a chance to see up close a display of hand made kites made by our local kite makers in the styles and traditions of the Caribbean Kite Flyers.

Hosted by Miami-Dade Parks and Skyward Kites, these free events feature paper kite building classes & demonstrations from longtime kite enthusiasts. In addition, there will be kite-flying competitions for both children and adults.

People of all ages are encouraged to come out to fly their kites, make their own kites for free or purchase an already-made kite. There is no limitation to the size and type of kite. Those who just want to watch can bring a blanket and enjoy the sight of hundreds of kites in the air and some great music. Food and refreshments & kites will be available for purchase.

Shoes with socks are recommended in this open field activity.
