Check out colorful kites this weekend at the Kites on Ice Festival in Buffalo.
We discovered another winter kite festival, this one taking place near the town of Buffalo. Mark your calendar for the Kites on Ice Festival taking place from 11 am – 3 pm on Saturday, February 12.
**For events like this, it’s important to check their event page, especially if you plan to drive more than just a couple of miles to it. Occasionally the weather doesn’t cooperate so they need to reschedule or cancel it.
If you’ve never been to a kite event, know that you are welcome to bring your own and fly it. Of course you can also just watch all the other kites! Some are huge, while others are a bit more simple. Free dog sled rides are planned for this day too.
Having the winter blues? Let colorful kites brighten your day!
Experienced show kite flyers from Minnesota and the Midwest will demonstrate their skills with kites of all colors, shapes and sizes.
