Highlights

Public kite flying opportunities
Virtual reality hot air balloon experience
Appearance by 'Kite Man of Martinez,' Tony Jetland

Held on a Saturday, the festival transforms the sky over the Vallejo waterfront with a variety of kites, including dragons, squids, stingrays, and cartoon characters. Attendees can enjoy watching large kite displays and participate in public kite flying. Renowned 'Kite Man of Martinez,' Tony Jetland, is noted for bringing a collection of over 400 kites, including a giant Tweety Bird and a flock of owls, and often features 64-foot-long dragons.

For those without a kite, Old City Kites, a Sacramento-based shop, has a booth offering various designs for purchase. A unique attraction is a virtual reality hot air balloon experience, where participants wear VR goggles inside a gondola to simulate floating above the kites. The event also features Penguin Paragliding and CoolRolls Ice Cream, providing additional entertainment and treats.
