Kite Festival Redondo Beach

Kite festival at Redondo Beach was a family affair on a sunny warm Sunday

Most of the kites at the Redondo Beach Kite Festival were small ones.  It was obvious that Dad had gone to the local kite store and bought a kite for the kids–although Dad was most often the person on the beach actually flying the kite.

Families on the sand at Redondo Beach for the Kite Festival. The calendar said March; the weather was like June.

There were, however, a few larger ones being flown in the strong, stiff wind by young men.   Among the bigger kites was a large red-white-and-blue one which, appropriately, was being flown in Veterans Park adjacent to the beach.

There is also a big kite festival coming up in San Diego.  I imagine there will be many of the spectacular large kites at that event.  But I will not be there.  Next weekend I’m going to the Orchid Show in Santa Barbara.

This patriotic kite, flying in the Veterans Park, was too large for a child. It took a young man to launch it.  The March wind was very strong.
