By On Deck Staff

The 24th Annual Wildwoods International Kite Festival will kick off the summer season in the Wildwoods this Memorial Day Weekend May 22 through 25. The festival will feature kite makers from around the world flying their most incredible creations.
Kites of all shapes and sizes, from inflatable flying creatures to traditional, will be soaring high over the beach at Rio Grande Ave. in the Wildwoods.
This year, giant kite experts Jack Rogers, Gary Engvall, Dennis Hawley, and Tom Zach will be lofting giant sea creatures over the beach.
At 9 p.m. on May 22, join us for the Nite Kite Fly, featuring illuminated kites.
On May 23-24, the East Coast Stunt Kite Championships will take place, featuring the best sport kite pilots in the United States. The championships are comprised of a variety of competitions for individuals, pairs and teams.
End the holiday weekend on Monday, when the festival will feature the World Indoor Kite Competition.
Each year hundreds of kite fliers from area kite clubs attend the festival.
This year, members of the South Jersey Kite Flyers, Liberty High Spirits of New Jersey, Kites Over New England, Wings Over Washington, Richmond Air Force, Connectikiters and Keystone Kiters will be filling the sky over the Wildwoods with their colorful creations.
There will be plenty of additional entertainment throughout the weekend, including socials, vendors, kite-flying lessons, kite-making workshops, raffles, exhibits, and much more.
