The IKEA Family Kite Festival Soars Back for Its 39th Year at Veterans Park...May 23 &amp; May 24.
Milwaukee, WI — Gift of Wings is thrilled to announce that the IKEA Family Kite Festival is returning to Milwaukee’s lakefront for the 39th consecutive year. Spring is finally here — it’s time to GO FLY A KITE!
On Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24, 2026, join us at beautiful Veterans Park (1010 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive) for two days of spectacular kite flying, family fun, and breathtaking aerial displays. The festival runs from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
The highlight of each day is the Grand Launch at noon, when more than 600 kites will fill the sky in a colorful spectacle you won’t want to miss. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrNgcpp5Mn8" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrNgcpp5Mn8</a>
World-Class Kite Performances
This year’s event features an impressive lineup of talented flyers:
<ul>
 <li>The Fabulous Windjammers, the world-renowned precision kite-flying team from Detroit, will perform three times daily — marking their 15th appearance in Milwaukee. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29dFQNve7Dw&amp;t=32s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29dFQNve7Dw&amp;t=32s</a></li>
