Free Art Kite Festival

Join the Orange County Museum of Art and the Segerstrom Center for the Arts for a fun-filled kite festival on Sunday, August 23 from 2-6 p.m. The free kite festival, a part of OCMA’s My Generation: Young Chinese Artists exhibition, will take place at the museums soon-to-be home, the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

Build and design your very own kite and learn how to fly it high in the sky by professional kite fliers, who will be offering up their expert advice to help your kite reach new limits.

Attendees can also enjoy Up, Up and Away’s historic, colorful kite collection that will be on display in the lobby of the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.

The kite festival also features caricature drawings, a performance from Segerstrom teaching artists, Pacific Trio, a martial arts demonstration by Yulin Chinese School, and food trucks.

The festival will come to an end with an enter-to-win drawing for extravagant kites.

The kite festival is the first event that the OCMA and the Segerstrom Center have partnered up for, as part of the My Generation: Young Chinese Artists exhibit, which concludes on October 11.

The Segerstrom Center for the Arts is located at 615 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa. For more information, visit scfta.org.
