Kite Festival at Treasure Island this Weekend!
If you want to do something else this weekend that will probably be a little more relaxing and a little less crowded than the Gasparilla Parade, then head out to Treasure Island. The Treasure Island Sport Kite Klub and Sunset Flyers Kite Club is having a Kite Festival on Saturday and Sunday. With the current forecast, the weather should be great for kite flying. Also with the projected temperatures, this may be the first weekend of the year with perfect beach weather. With temps projected in the mid-70′s, it won’t be too hot and not too cold for the beach. The water may not be at normal summer temperatures, but it should be great opportunity to start working on the summer tan. The kite festival will feature performances by expert kite flyers from around the country, candy drops for kids, parachute tow races, kids’ kite battles and precision sport flying to music. The kites will be flying from 10 am to 6 pm Saturday and Sunday at the Thunderbird Beach Resort, 10700 Gulf Blvd., on Treasure Island. Treasure Island, Florida is located on Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast and is blessed with miles of gorgeous white sand beaches that boast that “Old Florida” feel.
