Let’s Fly a Kite--8th Annual Kite Festival


On Saturday, April 10, 2010, The Arvada Festival Commission and the Foothills Kite Club will sponsor an exciting event: The 8th Annual Kite Festival. This free family event will have kite flying competitions for all age groups. The categories include: the smallest, largest, highest and the most visually appealing kites.

If you don't have a kite, not to worry, Downtown Toys & Games will be selling kites at a very reasonable price. Children can also make and decorate a small kite for free. And since this is a family fun event, there will be many other activities to participate in. These include jumping castles, a face painter, a caricaturist, a free art activities tent, many wonderful food vendors, community vendors and the Jeffco Brass Band will play from noon to 1:00 p.m. There will also be a couple new free activities this year.
