40th ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF THE KITE PRESENTED BY THE REDONDO PIERASSOCIATION AND SUNSHINE KITE COMPANY



Redondo Pier’s annual kite festival is one of L.A.’s longest-running kite festivals in the country.  This all-ages free event is open to the public and prizes are awarded for the best hand-made kite, best ground display, highest flying kite, and the youngest and youngest at heart kite flyers.  The public is invited to help launch a massive 25’ by 14’ foot kite.

The 11th Annual

Redondo Throw Down Yo-Yo competition will kick-off the festival on the pier and

the winner of the 11th Annual Hot Dog on a Stick Eating Contest

takes home a cash prize.  Other highlights include a martial arts

demonstration and live music throughout the day.  The festival will


culminate with a mass group kite ascension flight on the beach immediately


South of the pier.
