Mark your calendars for a whirl of colors and fun as the Pierce County Parks Kite Festival is set to return on August 3-4, taking over the skies at Chambers Creek Regional Park with a vibrant spectacle of kite demonstrations and family-centered activities. According to Pierce County's announcement, the community is invited from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to dive into an array of attractions including inflatable play areas, an assortment of food trucks to tackle any cravings, and local vendors like Ocean Shores Kites, ensuring that your day will be as breezy as the kites aloft.
The event, which is free to attend, also offers a delightful opportunity for families to engage in kite flying with a generous giveaway of 250 kites each day courtesy of the Pierce County Kitefliers Association, and for those who don't have a kite, an option to purchase a kite kit for $5 is available if you're keen on building and customizing your own at the park while not missing out on capturing those perfect sunny snapshots that are bound to fill your camera rolls. However be mindful, that parking is set at $10 per vehicle and can be snagged ahead of time online or on-site the day of the event—so plan accordingly to avoid any last-minute snafus.
The annual event promises to fill the skies with a cavalcade of colors and shapes, inviting kite enthusiasts and novices alike to step into a realm where the simple joy of a kite's flight can captivate and delight, amidst laughter and the sharing of open spaces.
