Free Family Kite Flying Event in Hoffman Estates

Hoffman Estates Park District (HEParks) is participating in a statewide kite fly event with other park districts, special recreation, forest preserves, conservation, and recreation districts to raise awareness of the Park District Youth License Plate. Organized by the Illinois Association of Park Districts, this statewide program offered in April and May annually encourages districts to create fun, family events celebrating the sport of kite flying while promoting parks and facilities.

HEParks will host a free family kite flying day Sunday, May 7, from 12:00-4:00 pm at Fabbrini Park, 1704 Glen Lake Road, Hoffman Estates. Partnering with the district, Chicago Kite/Kite Harbor will showcase their giant kites during the event. Families are encouraged to bring their kites or purchase one onsite ($20+). There will also be music, an instrument petting zoo by Bach to Rock, crafts and giant yard games at the event. Learn more at HEParks.org.
