OCEAN CITY – The kite capital of the world will kick off the season early by painting the sky with every color under the sun at the 28th Annual Maryland International Kite Expo (M.I.K.E.), set for April 28 thru April 30.
The festival will be showcasing a spectacular cast of kite flyers from all over the United States. Thousands of spectators will watch giant kites, little kites, trick kites, sea life kites, animal kites, miniature kites, artistic kites, kites as big as a city bus, all fly high above the Ocean City skyline.
In addition, stunt teams will perform amazing acrobatic maneuvers all in sync to the delight of the crowds. The teams consist of four or more precision kite fliers, all flying four-line kites in perfect formation. The teams will perform amazing routines choreographed to music. Team demonstrations will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
“Spectators will experience the thrill of watching sport kite demonstrations and get the opportunity to meet the greatest kite flyers in the world. Visitors will understand why Ocean City is the Kite Capital of the World,” said Jay Knerr of The Kite Loft. “Ocean City is one of the best places in the world to showcase kites.”
Ocean City is home to the world’s largest kite retailer (Kite Loft) and now to America’s most exciting kite festival. Hundreds of kite fliers from east coast clubs and sport kite competitors from around the country will fill the sky with an explosion of color, a photographer’s dream come true.”
