The Blue Ridge Kite Festival is a favorite springtime day of outdoor family fun at Green Hill Park. This event offers free admission, free parking, free children's t-shirts, and free kites to the first 1,000 children attending with an adult. This annual event also features championship flyers, quad-line kits, kids' contests, custom-kite exhibits, a caricature artist, arts and crafts vendors, and much more. Attendees can also test their own kites in this wonderful outdoor park that is surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains.
