Kite Festival

Saturday, May 16, 2026 · 11:00 am – 3:00 pm

Soccer Fields – Pier 5

Celebrate spring and kick off the season at Brooklyn Bridge Park’s beloved annual Kite Festival!

Watch your kite soar above the city skyline – this is the one day of the year you can fly a kite at Brooklyn Bridge Park! Decorate your own free kite to take home (while supplies last), borrow a kite to fly, or bring your own to show off!

Enjoy live music, crafts, games, and activities from local partners at this family-friendly event. Learn and celebrate global origins of kite flying and kite making from international community partners.

Check back for full schedule and details.
