2018 National Cherry Blossom Kite Festival

Post by mingram »

The kite fest is March 31st this year. 10 AM – 4:30 PM The rain date is Sunday the 1st.

Bring your paragliders and hang gliders! It's the one day of year we're allowed to kite our wings on the mall. The CHGPA will have a table and two chairs and I'll bring the CHGPA sign to hang from the front of it. I'm looking for a volunteer to bring a hang glider and for people to help man the table with me.

For anyone near DC, the Kite Fest is on for Saturday. Sunny and warm and more wind in the afternoon. Tommy Powers is bringing a few hang gliders so we'll have those displayed. We plan to arrive at 9am and will have a table and sign setup, but look for the hang glider. I'm bringing my wing am hoping to kite in the afternoon. If anyone wants to come help hand out flyers and USHPA mags and talk with the public stop by anytime.
