HUNTSVILLE – The city of Huntsville and the Ray of Hope Foundation invite residents to let the wind lift their spirits at the 13th annual Community Kite Festival.
The event is March 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at John Hunt Park Festival Grounds. The free, family friendly event celebrates the spirit of inclusiveness and harmony within the community.
For experienced kite enthusiasts and first-time flyers, this vibrant festival offers something for everyone. In addition to the kite-flying, attendees can enjoy a variety of food trucks, children’s activities and more.
“The Community Kite Festival is a fantastic event that brings together families from all backgrounds,” said Randy Barbour, director of the City’s Office of Multicultural Affairs. “It’s a perfect opportunity to celebrate the diversity that makes Huntsville special while having fun outdoors.”
Attendees can bring their own kite or purchase one at the event. For a relaxing experience, be sure to bring your blankets or chairs to settle in and enjoy the festivities.
The open spaces at John Hunt Park, directly across from the Jaycee Building, provide the ideal setting for flying kites and enjoying the fresh air, making it the perfect place for this annual celebration.
“John Hunt Park is one of Huntsville’s greatest assets,” said James Gossett, director of Huntsville Parks & Recreation. “We’re always excited to host events like this that bring people together and showcase the sense of community we value so much.”
