Avy's Sunshine Kite Festival

Celebrate your lost loved ones together. 
June 22, 2024 
Location: TBD: Either Old City Park or “Pocket Park” 
Time: 10am-2pm

 

Celebrate your lost loved ones by decorating a kite with your loving messages and fly them high in the sky.

Kites and paint sticks, water - provided. 

Activities for kids and adults! Face painting, games, art, and more!

*Donations accepted on site to help build a playground in the Cedars in honor of our gone-too-soon Avy. 

*Event inspired by the Sumpango Kite Festival in Guatemala

*Opportunities to participate near and far! 

Celebrate your loved ones who are gone by flying a message filled kite for them while helping to raise money for a needed playground in honor of our gone-to-soon daughter Aveline (Avy). To celebrate Avy’s birthday which is on June 24th we wanted to engage in some of her favorite things, embrace talking about our gone loved ones, send them flying kite messages, and help raise money for the playground. 

There are many ways for you to participate in the Sunshine Kite Festival near and far!  Choose below to join us spreading sunshine and honoring our loved ones. Check out below:
