Lincoln City broke the world record by flying 21 Octopus Kites at one time at the summer kite festival June 28th, at the D-River Wayside! |
 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. Furthermore, the clean air directly from the ocean is preferred by kite flying experts, and even novices will see a difference in their abilities at this location. Kite flying is a family activity available in Lincoln City throughout the year, regardless of the weather, through festivals, kite building workshops and kite flying lessons. It's always time to fly!

 Annual Summer and Fall Kite Festivals bring thousands of international delegates and visitors, both amateur and professional, from as far away as Asia, Australia, and Europe. In order to enhance the flying and viewing experience, the summer and fall outdoor festivals are held on the beach at the D-River State Wayside, where the Pacific Ocean creates a stunning backdrop for colorful kites.
 In that unique setting, fliers and watchers enjoy family-oriented kite flying competitions and displays, Japanese-style kite battles, flying demonstrations and lessons, kite building workshops, and kite ballets. Each festival is individually designed to offer new activities and new expert fliers with different flying styles and unusual kite designs. Though the Oregon Coast has many festivals each year, Lincoln City's festivals still top them all.

 But Lincoln City knows the delight of kite flying should not be restricted to warm and dry weather. To introduce the world to winter kite fun, in March 2004 Lincoln City sponsored Oregon's first Indoor Windless Kite Festival. No fans, no air conditioning, no endless fast running, and no open windows or doors.
 Indoor windless flying is skill, extraordinary kite design, and grace in motion. It is painting, concert, dance, and theater---all in one act. And the experts will show you and your family how to do it. The March indoor festival is a unique activity to enjoy with your kids and your parents every spring break. As many did in March 2004, you will walk away saying "That's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it---and I got to try it." |
