KITE FESTIVAL - BROOKINGS, OREGON


This festival was a display of talent from winners of regional competitions. The colors to the left represent different regions.

Out our window, craft and food booths were set up in the Marina property. It was extremely interesting watching all that goes into festivals from our own home. The folks in the food booths come in real early and start cutting, chopping, and setting up. Folks with craft booth spend hours getting set up.

Our first two days here felt like we were at Coney Island. It was a fun beach event.



Fog was a visitor for this weekend festival. In the 10 days we have been here, these were the only two days of fog. Folks sitting around the field enjoying the great kite show.

Below are 5 separate kites strung together and doing a routine to music. All kite flying demonstrations were set to music. We never realized how much can be done with a kite. We could rarely keep a kite up, let alone do tricks.
