Friday evening come experience "Night with Kites" on the beach in front of the Courtyard by Marriott at Carolina Beach.  CFKF Flyers will light up the night sky. Come watch as serious kite flyers share their sky art  at the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area on Saturday and Sunday.  This is the final kite event of the season, with more than just your average kites filling the sky.  See incredible shapes, sizes, styles and, of course, colors float, soar and ride the air. Please check the Video footage of last year's event on their Website.  Food trucks and other vendors will be on-site during the festival.  See website for details.
