Spring is here—it’s time to GO FLY A KITE!
Gift of Wings is excited to announce the return of the 92.1 VTY Country IKEA Outta Sight Kite Flight, presented by Gift of Wings, taking place Saturday, June 6, and Sunday, June 7 at Kennedy Park, a City of Kenosha park located on Kenosha’s beautiful lakefront.
Now celebrating 23 years in Kennedy Park, this beloved community tradition runs from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. both days, featuring the spectacular Grand Launch of more than 400 to 500 kites at noon each day.
Festival guests will enjoy performances by world-class kite flyers, including the internationally recognized Fire &amp; Ice Precision Kite Team, returning for their 17th year with three performances daily.
Also returning for their 17th appearance, the Canadian Dream Team will showcase two GIANT whale kites, the debut of a new 120-foot Trilobite kite, and the exclusive IKEA Shark Kite, available only at the Outta Sight Kite Flight Flight kite Festival.
Additional featured performers include Milwaukee professional kite flyer Paul Koepke, Vancouver’s Jim Almas, and Montreal’s Jean Lemire, who will attempt to fly three to four stunt kites simultaneously to music, and The Flying Emus, performing with four-line stunt kites. Amy and Connie Doran, known from America’s Got Talent, will also entertain guests throughout the weekend.
Families won’t want to miss the Leaf Guard Kids Mad Dash, where the first 100 participating children each day will receive a free kite and launch them together in a colorful sky-filled celebration.
Gift of Wings will also have kites and food available for purchase during the event.
The 92.1 VTY Country IKEA Outta Sight Kite Flight, presented by Gift of Wings and the City of Kenosha, is free to attend and offers free parking.
