The only thing that is up in the air in regards to the Kite Festival this year...are the kites themselves! 

Yay! This is such a fun festival and we're so happy to see it happening again this year, in some capacity, rather than not at all.

Families in Okotoks flying kites at a previous Kite Festival.

So thanks to Zach Adams here's everything you need to know about the Okotoks Kite Festival 2021:

1. It is a GO! 

Do you remember saying that as a kid? When you wanted someone to leave you alone? "Go fly a kite!" LOL. It always tickles me when I hear it now but like Zach said we're encouraging people to "go fly a kite" in the nicest way possible!

2. New this year, a Kite Scavenger Hunt that has prizing for participants! Very cool. 

I love how scavenger hunts are becoming all the rage these days! Honestly, keep them coming. 

3. What exact businesses are these gift cards for if you win?

WOW! So nice. What a great idea to to help support local businesses.

The clue sheet is up on the towns website ready to be printed for the scavenger hunt but kites won't be out until 6 p.m. TODAY, Friday, May 28th!

So get your good shoes on and get those clue sheets ready because the hunt begins at dusk...(well a little earlier than the 'official' dusk, but you get my point.) 

It's going to be a beautiful weekend and like the only time not a ton of wind is forecasted in the Foothills (of course😐) but hey there's always the scavenger hunt! So have some fun!

(^With the winds currently projected this might be what you have to do this weekend to get your kite off the ground lol.)
