Winter Kite Festival at Lake Harriet
Kites of all shapes, sizes, and colors will fill the sky over Lake Harriet, when the 20th Annual Winter Kite Festival returns on January 22.

You can bring your own kite or buy one there. Check out the huge kites and high-flying talents of the Minnesota Kite Society. Enjoy music, ice-fishing lessons from Tips Outdoors and a free marshmallow roast sponsored by LHiNC. Assorted food trucks will be onsite.
