The 35th annual Kite Festival is slated to take place, a family-fun and award-winning activity recently named one of Ontario’s top 100 festivals.

“It’s going to be a great day,” said event supervisor Doug Henry in a release.

“We’re all excited to spend the afternoon with our eyes pointed at the sky watching all the colourful kites our Guest Fliers will be bringing this year. We’re proud to welcome back representatives from the Toronto Kite Fliers and the Kitchener-Waterloo Windclimbers, who will be flying a stunning variety of giant kites at Chippewa Park.”

The event runs from noon until 4 p.m. and features kite-building workshops, outdoor games, play areas and giant kite displays. Other activities and sources of entertainment include face painting and balloon animals.

Admission is free of charge and Thunder Bay Transit has extended its service to run every 40 minutes from Intercity Shopping Centre.
