About This Event
Join the fun as serious kite flyers create sky art at the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area for the Cape Fear Kite Festival, presented in partnership with the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce. This is the final kite event of the professional kite flying season with much more than average kites filling the sky! See incredible shapes, sizes, styles and of course colors float, soar and ride the air. Please check their social media for updates. Live bands, food trucks and other vendors will attend the festival. Well behaved, leashed dogs are welcome on the weekend at Kure Beach
