Join us for the annual Mile High Kite Festival on Saturday, August 31st & Sunday, Sept. 1st. from 10:00 am 4:00 pm each day. The first 150 attendees ages 12 & under will receive a FREE decorate-it-yourself kite, both Saturday & Sunday! There will be a kite decorating station available for children & parents. In addition to kite decorating contest, kite flying, ticketed kiddie inflatable bouncy houses and games we will have food & craft vendors offering homemade items for sale, as well as our resident face painter.

Also on Saturday will be a professional kite building demonstration.

$5.00 suggested donation per family. All donations will be collected by the Chamber of Commerce & will be used to provide & improve future Beech Mountain community events.

Following Saturday’s event we will host a Street Dance in the Town Hall parking lot at 7pm with Beech Mountain’s very own, DJ Frank Steele. The Richmond Air Force & WACKOS kite clubs will emcee our Kite Flying Contest with prizes awarded in several categories including Highest Flying, Lowest Flying, Best Decorated Kite & more! They’ll also ask for audience participation for the raising of the American flag & National Anthem as a tribute to all those who have served.
