2010 Festivals
From Illinois Kite Enthusiasts
(Redirected from Current Festivals)
The festivals listed below are not organized by the Illinois Kite Enthusiasts club. They are events that are put on by individual cities, shops, and park districts. IKE lists them so that we have a convenient and centrally located listing of all the events that may be of interest to us as a club. Most festivals are open to the general public, although they may offer varying space accommodations for sport kite fliers. For further information on any festival, click on the link, if there is one, or check the details on the calendar entry.
