Kite Fest Louisiane

Here’s something to put some wind in your sails. Once again, West Baton Rouge is launching high-flying festivities at the West Baton Rouge Soccer Complex. The event has been named “Festival of the Year” by the Louisiana Travel Promotion Association and a Top 20 Event by the Southeast Tourism Society. Attendance has grown tenfold over the years, ballooning to twenty thousand people or so, and on more than one day. The kite-loving crowds will get to enjoy a kite design contest, indoor kite flying, and other professional kite exhibitions, plenty to eat and drink, kite vendors, musical entertainment, kite-flying lessons, and kite-building workshops. Plus, don’t miss the big fireworks display on Saturday night. Starts at 11 am each day. Free. Call 225-3442920 for more information. westbatonrouge.net.
