Get ready to have your heads in the clouds, St. Louis Park residents. The city has officially announced that the 37th Annual Kilwanis Kite Fly is set to soar on April 26. This year's event has a slight change of scenery; instead of the usual spot, kite enthusiasts and families will congregate at Louisianna Oaks Park, as the City of St. Louis Park's social media post indicated.
Apart from witnessing a vibrant dance of kites against the blue backdrop, the event, running from noon to 4 p.m., will be a perfect opportunity to pack a picnic lunch and spend some quality family time together. As the kites take flight, both young and old can enjoy the day with lawn chairs brought to watch members of the Minnesota Kite Society demonstrate their high-flying skills. And for the little ones itching to join in, free kites will be there to help launch their dreams into the sky—while supplies last, of course.
What's not to love about a day full of fun, sun, and the occasional tangled string nightmare? The city promises an afternoon ripe for making memories, and it’s not just about spectating. According to the same social media announcement, kite aficionados of all levels are encouraged to bring their kites and join the frolic. The Kilwanis Kite Fly is an all-ages event, so whether you're eight or eighty, passion for kites is the only entry criterion.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to feel the breeze and get a little sun-kissed while watching the kites or becoming part of the airborne ballet. The City of St. Louis Park is bustling with anticipation as the day approaches, inviting everyone for a day of simplicity and joy as colorful as the kites flying overhead. Remember, it's all happening on April 26, and if you've got kids, be sure to get there early for the free kites because, just like the moments that will drift by in the park, they won't last forever.
