Chicago Kids and Kites Festival is a fun-filled day to celebrate the joys of being a kid. From running around outdoors, flying FREE paper kites and enjoying family-focused programming including face painting, balloon artists and crafts. All crafts activities are while supplies last.
Families will be able to purchase kites onsite at the Kite Harbor booth and enjoy professional kite flying demonstrations and learn tips on how to fly a kite.
Weather permitting, the festival will also include the Big Kite Candy Drop, a piñata-like kite filled with candies that drop from the sky.

Throughout the day, the festival will raffle off Brookfield Zoo Family Packs that include four general admission tickets, four Dinosaurs Alive tickets and one free parking pass. Other raffle items include Boeing kites and hats.
