Enjoy a high-flying weekend of family fun at the Morro Bay Kite Festival! This beloved annual event brings together kite flyers of all ages, gathered in the beautiful coastal town of Morro Bay to enjoy its legendary kite-flying wind.
Why attend the Morro Bay Kite Festival?
- A fun, free, family event for all ages and lifestyles
- A sense of pride for the community. We have been told by professional kite flyers that we have some of the best kite-flying wind in the world here in Morro Bay!
- A truly sustainable, “green" event that supports Morro Bay's vision as a community
- An opportunity for the community to share their knowledge of kite flying with those who have never built or flown a kite before
- An outstanding family tradition for the community and visitors alike
- 500 kites provided for the kids on Saturday
- A smile on every face and lifelong memories
Schedule:
Friday Night Flight: After Sunset (7:45 PM)

Kite flying will depend on the weather. Candy drops will happen twice on Saturday and Sunday, weather dependent.
Parking
To keep this a sustainable 'green event' and address limited parking at Morro Rock, consider carpooling or parking in town and biking along Embarcadero.
Free parking closest to the Kite Festival is available at the Rock parking lot, the parking lot north of the Coast Guard Station, and the parking lot by the Maritime Museum. All other parking on the Embarcadero is free.
Additional parking is available at Cloisters Community Park or Lila Keiser Park. We recommend biking from these areas.
