Description
New location for Kite Fest
Due to wet and muddy conditions on the prairie from recent storms, Kite Fest on the Prairie is moving to the west overflow parking lot just outside of the Arboretum. Admission to Kite Fest is FREE. We'll still have kites available for purchase, and we've got you covered with restrooms conveniently located in the LongHouse Visitor Center. Join us for a day filled with kite flying, delicious treats from the Polar Ice food truck and an unforgettable experience in the great outdoors.
Safety first
If lightning occurs, we may have to cancel for everyone's safety.
Soar into the sky and let your spirits fly high at Kite Fest! Join us for a breezy day of colorful kites, uplifting views and a wind-sational experience amidst the beautiful wildflowers of the Arboretum’s prairie. Don't forget your kite, water bottle, bug spray and lawn chairs or picnic blankets for a day of fun, friends and family. Kites will be available for purchase. Picnics are welcome and Polar Oasis will be selling sweet treats. Shuttle service is available from the east parking lot from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., or make it an adventure and hike the 1-mile trail to the prairie. No parking on the prairie. Babies and toddlers are welcome - a baby carrier or jogging stroller is best suited for the uneven ground. This event is free with Arboretum admission.
