Color the Wind Kite Festival

Clear Lake is home to the Midwest’s largest and most colorful winter kite festival, featuring huge kites of all kinds flown by serious kite-flyers from across the United States (and some from England). Suggested donation for admission is $5 per person. Use Venmo @clearlakeareachamber, or look for the donation buckets throughout the event! Expect to be dazzled by this event! The display of beautiful colors, the sheer size of some of the kites, and the incredible choreography of the musical numbers are really something to behold. Visitors will flock to Clear Lake’s frozen oasis to see the most spectacular display of kite-flying around.Keep in mind, this is a winter event, so it could be very cold. Please dress accordingly, and don’t forget, to avoid a day spent squinting at the kites, so bring your shades! For more information visit clearlakeiowa.com.
