Event details

The 18th annual Carolina Kitefest will be held in Atlantic Beach, NC (across the bridge from Morehead City) on Saturday and Sunday, October 29th and 30th. It will be held on the beach in front of "A Place at the Beach" condos. A Place at the Beach is about 1 1/2 miles east of the center of town (toward Fort Macon). Turn left when you get to the center of Atlantic Beach after coming over from Morehead City. Free parking at the condos. And free admission to the kitefest.

Notable attendees and participants at this AKA sanctioned event are the Bay Area Sundowners, Dave Gomberg, Al Sparling, Randy Tom (winner of the Lee Toy AKA Artist award for 2005), and Ray Wong. There probably are also some spouses coming, but I don't know for sure (sorry, didn't mean to leave you out, ladies!).

This is a "fun" kitefest with any competitions only being for fun. There will be large kite displays, teaching clinics for quad and dual-line kites, and mass ascensions -- ascensions for fighter kites, "critters", Sky skimmers, soft body kites, dragons, etc. Not to mention the beautiful synchronized flying by the Bay Area Sundowners.

There will be similar events both Saturday and Sunday, with a night fly on Saturday night of single lines, quads, and dual lines.

There are several motels in the area, and A Place at the Beach is offering special rates since they are one of the sponsors.
