You can be part of a kite-flying tradition on the waterfront in Algoma next weekend. The 8th Annual Soar on the Shore Kite and Beach Festival is held on Crescent Beach and Lake Street overlooking Lake Michigan. Event Coordinator Sara Krouse says the family-friendly event will feature the Wisconsin Kiters Club showcasing stunt kites and will “paint the sky” with color and movement if the winds cooperate. She says there will be a designated area on the beach for people to fly their own kites.
Krouse explains the inspiration behind starting the event eight years ago.
The Soar on the Shore will take place from 11 am until 4 pm on Saturday, August 21, with a rain date for Sunday at the same time. The event is presented by Friends of Crescent Beach and the Algoma Area Chamber of Commerce.
