Ogunquit Performing Arts is delighted to continue sponsorship of the 25th Annual Festival of Kites, a favorite Ogunquit event. Professional kite flying demonstrations, with huge, multi-dimensional kites, are an all-day feature of the festival. Children are also offered the opportunity to decorate their own kites and enter them in a contest with multiple categories, and many prizes are awarded. Kites may be purchased at the beach so that everyone can participate. The “Grand Ascension,” where the sky is filled with all of the day’s kites, occurs at approximately 12 noon. Bring your cameras! It’s a spectacular sight. The music of Joyce Andersen and Harvey Reid will accompany the festivities with sets occurring at 11 am and 1 pm. The Capriccio Festival of Kites is presented by Cricket’s Corner Beach and Toy, Ogunquit Performing Arts, Ogunquit Rotary Club, Kennebunk Savings Bank, That Place in Ogunquit, and the Town of Ogunquit.
