There’s something completely magical about flying a kite. Whether you have fond childhood memories of watching your colorful kite float through the sky or you’re simply fascinated by the sight of these delightful creations fluttering in the wind, one thing is for sure: you’ll be in paradise at this unique Michigan festival.
The Great Lakes Kite Festival takes place annually at beautiful Grand Haven State Park, which sits on the breathtaking shores of Lake Michigan.
As the largest of its kind in the midwest, this incredible kite festival draws in hundreds of visitors each year — and you’ll want to see it for yourself.
Over 25 different "flyers" come from around the United States and Canada to show off their beautiful kite creations. Watch as the skies come alive with color.
There’s something at this unique festival for everyone. Catch a show performed by stunt flyers, marvel at massive kites (some are said to be "as big as school buses"), or learn more about the science behind flying.
Of course, don’t forget to bring your own kite! There’s even an open space at the festival where visitors can fly their own favorite kites right on the beach.
Looking for an awesome souvenir or gift? You’ve come to the right place. At the festival, you’ll find a massive beachfront kite store that bills itself as the "World’s Largest."
Did we mention that admission to the festival is free? Bring a few friends and family members along — what a perfect way to have fun without breaking the bank.
So, what are you waiting for? Round up a few adventurous loved ones, buy yourself a kite, and start planning for this incredible high-flying Michigan outing.
This year’s Great Lakes Kite Festival will take place on May 20th and 21st at Grand Haven State Park. For more information about specific times and events, click here. Happy flying!
