Washington State International Kite Festival
August 16-22, 2021
The Washington State International Kite Festival (WSIKF) is a week-long kite celebration and competition held annually during the third full week of August.
Starting on Monday and ending on Sunday this Long Beach, Washington State vacation extravaganza boasts skies ablaze with color, high flying action and choreographed movement. Washington’s Kite Festival draws famous kite fliers from all around the world, and tens of thousands awed spectators, many of which participate in the fun with their own kite flying adventures.
WSIKF is the longest running, largest Kite Festival in the Unites States (7 days long!). As a kiter, it is THE kite festival to be at to fly and be seen flying. For spectators we have 3 days of free kids’ kite making, a grandparents’ day, and numerous interactive events for kids of all ages. It is a very user friendly environment where people are encouraged to participate and be part of the festivities.
