Massive kites shaped like octopuses, sea turtles, pandas and lobsters — some stretching up to 100 feet — will fill the sky over Okaloosa Island Boardwalk next month when Kitty Hawk Kites brings its annual Fly into Spring Kite Festival back to Fort Walton Beach.
The two-day event, set for April 4-5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., coincides with National Kite Month and features oversized character kites ranging from 30 to 100 feet, professional stunt kite demonstrations set to music and free activities for families.
Kids can try their hand at free kite-making stations, and attendees of all ages can take stunt kite lessons during the festival. Visitors are also welcome to bring their own kites to fly alongside the professionals.
The festival is free and open to the public at The Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island.
