16th Annual Winter Kite Festival January 28, 2017
The skies over frozen Lake Harriet were covered with kites of all shapes, sizes andcolors as thousands attended the 16th Annual Lake Harriet Kite Festival that took place Saturday, January 28, 2017.
The free, fun, family festival included horse-drawn wagon rides, snowshoeing, ice fishing, marshmallow roast and an ice obstacle course. Minnesota Kite Society experts were on hand to demonstrate maneuvering spectacular kites throughout the day, offer their expertise to kite flying enthusiasts and to those who are new to the pastime.
