If you haven’t attended the LBI Annual Fly Invitational Kite Festival, you must mark your calendars now for the fall. Held each year on Columbus Day weekend, the organizers meticulously plan three days of just plain fun for families, couples and individuals alike.
A demonstration and competition of indoor kite flying by professionals from all over the country is held Friday night. Individual flying routines, choreographed to music is very interesting to watch. This past season, the weather was beautiful, a clear, crisp fall day with plenty of wind to highlight the huge variety of kites……fish, sharks, a witch on her broom, Pegasus, characters of all sorts….some so huge they were tethered, flying high above the spectators!
But perhaps the most spectacular sight occurs at night for night fly. The night fly of illuminated kites is just magical…..as well as the thousands of people watching, all decked out in their glow necklaces everywhere you look.
We at the Sand Castle hope this tradition continues year after year. Make sure you book your stay with us early. Visit us at www.sandcastlelbi.com for availability.
