20th Annual Kite Expo Offers Free Fun, Demonstrations

OCEAN CITY — Ocean City will kick off the season early by painting the sky with every color under the sun at the 20th Annual Maryland International Kite Expo (M.I.K.E.), set for April 25-27.

The festival will be showcasing a spectacular cast of kite flyers from all over the United States. Thousands of spectators will watch giant kites, as big as a city bus, fly high above the Ocean City skyline.

In addition, stunt teams will perform amazing acrobatic maneuvers all in sync to the delight of the crowds. The teams consist of four or more precision kite fliers, all flying four line kites in perfect formation. They are the Thunderbirds of the kiting world. They will perform amazing routines choreographed to music. Team demos will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
