Soar into summer by watching beautiful kites - or creating them - during the 3rd Annual Kite Day in Sister Bay on June 28th. The event will be held at the Sister Bay Sports Complex from 10a.m. until 1.p.m. and visitors and members of the community will be treated to vibrant kite displays.

“This is one of my favorite events; families and the kids can come out and decorate kits and fly them together,” said Ellie Soderberg-Guger, Director and Community Coordinator for the Sister Bay Advancement Association, “it’s almost like one of those lost arts; kids don’t fly kites as much as they used to so it’s really fun to be able to bring them back outside.”

The Wisconsin Kiters Club will also be showcasing their kites and club members will be answering spectator questions and sharing tips about the art of kite flying. The first 100 kids in attendance will also have the opportunity to craft their own kites.

“Kids decorate them - we have special markers, and they can draw all over the kite and make it their own,” Soderberg-Guger added, “it’s one of the things I feel the kids really love the most; being able to color, make their own kite and then get to see it fly up in the sky is just really fun.”

Admission to the event is free and attendees should bring their own lawn chairs or picnic blankets for seating.
