Plan on attending Portland/Vancouver area's ONLY Indoor Kite Festival in Camas, Washington, November 7th and 8th, 2009. 

Yes, we really do mean Indoor Kite Festival. Most people picture a blustery day at the beach as being perfect for kite flying.  However, if you have the right kite and know how to do it, you can fly kites indoors without ANY wind at all, and have great fun even if the weather outside is frightful!

So everyone can enjoy this great sport, expert indoor kite fliers from Washington, Oregon and Canada are coming to Camas to demonstrate the art and teach kids of all ages how to soar without wind.

There will be 4 competitions that will count towards a regional championship and qualification to compete at the American Kite Flyers National Championships.

$2 gets you in both days.  ($5 for a family of three or more.)  Included free is an opportunity to make your own kite.

Once you have built your kite at the event or brought one with you, you can test fly it in the Upper Gym Area.

Free windless flying space in the upper gym is available to practice what you've learned. And they'll teach you for free at the times indicated in the schedule. You just need to get out on that floor and try.

Watch video of Lam Hoac, one of our past competitors.
