The Big Baltimore Kite Fest!
Blowing into Patterson Park for the first time this spring, The Big Baltimore Kite Festival fills the sky with vibrant colors and celebrates the broad spectrum of cultures that make up East Baltimore! Join us near the Pagoda to make your own kite, listen to breezy music, participate in the “Will It Fly” competition, and enjoy a day outside in our beautiful park!
Bring a picnic blanket, bring a kite, bring your friends!
Will It Fly Competition:
Artists, kids, wind lovers - we want to see the most creative things in the sky possible!
1. It can’t be a traditional kite.
2. It can’t have a motor or electronics.
3. It must have a string.
4. You just need to run/roll/spin and get it into the air for 20 seconds.
Win prizes in lots of odd categories!
View the festival from the sky - the Pagoda is open!
