Kite Festival set April 3 at Cape Henlopen State Park

The Great Delaware Kite Festival, co-sponsored by the Lewes Chamber of Commerce and the Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation, will take place at Cape Henlopen State Park Good Friday, April 3. For the past several years, event organizers have noticed a trend toward later arrival. In an effort to maximize attendance, the schedule has been changed to reflect the attendance pattern, and two new family-friendly activities have been added to the schedule.

An Easter egg hunt at 11 a.m. will kick off the day, followed by the kite competitions for children and teens. The highest kite competition follows at 1 p.m. and is open to all ages. Another new activity, an egg toss competition, will take place after the highest kite competition. The adult competitions will begin at approximately 2 p.m., interspersed with professional stunt kite flying demonstrations. Note that times may vary according to weather conditions and the number of competitors.

Registrations begin at 10 a.m. with ample opportunity for kite competitors to practice in the fields adjacent to the competition area. All activities are free, including the Easter egg hunt and the egg toss. The Easter egg hunt will be limited to children up to age 12, and the egg toss teams can be multigenerational.
