Every year, the Smithsonian holds a huge Kite Festival on the National Mall. The weekend prior to the festival, the National Air and Space Museum has a Kite Family Day where kids and their families can make their own kites, learn how to fly them, and watch indoor kite flying demonstrations. I often search the web to find out what visitors are filming, photographing, blogging and tweeting about the Museum. I found lots of images and videos of the outdoor Kite Festival, but one of our educators found this great YouTube video which captures the fun of the indoor Kite Family Day in 2008.
We are so glad our friends at Wings Over Washington created this! Did you attend the Kite Family Day or the Smithsonian Kite Festival this year? Leave a comment and tell us about it! P.S. Keep sharing your thoughts about the National Air and Space Museum using your favorite social media outlet. We just might blog about it!
We rely on the generous support of donors, sponsors, members, and other benefactors to share the history and impact of aviation and spaceflight, educate the public, and inspire future generations. With your help, we can continue to preserve and safeguard the world’s most comprehensive collection of artifacts representing the great achievements of flight and space exploration.
