Join us for a day of sky-high fun at our annual Kite Festival! This is the one day each year when kite flying is open to the public in the park—so don’t miss your chance to see the sky fill with color against the stunning Manhattan skyline.

Bring your own kite, purchase, or make one on site, and take part in a joyful spring celebration for all ages. Enjoy hands-on crafts, classic lawn games, live music, and engaging activities from local community partners. Whether you’re a first-time flyer or a seasoned pro, this is the perfect opportunity to welcome the season with a breeze. This is a free event.
