Atlanta World Kite Festival
The 3rd Annual Atlanta World Kite Festival and Expo will continue the tradition of festivals and family by celebrating our communities, healthy families, and kite flying, with contests, local entertainment, food, arts and crafts, city leaders, local nonprofits, community organizations, and kite demonstrations.
The festival was built on the premise of “cultural awareness and community building.” Along with Mr. Rowell, a group of his family and friends decided to make a unique and positive contribution to their city by bringing our communities together.
Kites are so important in the Indian culture that the Hindi language has over 100 words for kite.
