Newport Kit Festival, 40 Years at Brenton Point, July 11 and 12

Kite-Making Workshop In-Person

Ages 6 - 12

Get ready for summer with a kite you made yourself! Join us for a free, hands-on kite-making workshop where children ages 6–12 will build their own beginner kite to take home and fly. Guided by Newport Kite Festival volunteers, participants will explore basic aerodynamics and simple construction techniques in this 90-minute, all-materials-included session.

This workshop is part of our partnership with the Newport Kite Festival's 40th Anniversary celebration. Participants are invited to fly their completed kites at the Festival on July 11–12 at Brenton Point State Park!
