Let’s Fly a Kite

This year the Festivals and Events staff has teamed up with the Rocca Sisters Team and re-imagined our traditional Kite Festival. In lieu of an in-person festival we will be offering a limited supply of FREE Kites Kits to Burlington Residents to Get Outside and Play this June.

Kite Kits are only available for Burlington residents with pre-registration and while quantity lasts. Registration opens on Monday, June 7, 2021. Register online.

Let’s Fly a Kite this June, whether you made your own or have your favourite kite, help us fill the sky with colour and celebrate play.

We ask all those participating to share photos on social media using #getoutsideandplay.

If you have any questions about accommodations regarding pick-up arrangements, please contact festivalsandevents@burlington.ca and a staff member will be in touch.
