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!

Bring your own kite and watch it soar above the city skyline – this is the one day of the year when kite flying is open to the public in Brooklyn Bridge Park! We’ll have a limited number of kite giveaways and kites to borrow.

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

Check back for full schedule and details.
