Summer Kite Festival |
|
 June 27 & 28, 2009
Lincoln City, named by Kitelines Magazine as one of the best places to fly kites in North America, celebrates with three kite festivals each year, two outdoors and one indoors. Situated on the 45th parallel, Lincoln City is positioned at the ideal point for mixing warm equatorial air and cold polar air, which creates ideal winds for outdoor flying. In addition, the clean air flowing directly off the ocean is preferred by kite flying experts, and novices will see a difference in their abilities as well. Demonstrations, competitions and other great fun in the Summer sun. FMI 800-452-2151.

The 25th Annual Summer Kite Festival theme this year is "Pacific Wonderland". We kicked off the festivities with a photo contest. Thank you to all the contestants that entered their photos! Photo Contest Winners Here
