OBFEST 2015 | San Diego Kite Club

Saturday, May 9, Dusty Rhodes Park, Ocean Beach

The 67th Annual Ocean Beach Kite Festival was once again a great success thanks to the Kiwanis Club and all their helpers. A good number of SDKC members were also on hand although we had the easy part, kite flying.

The days just before and the morning of the festival were pretty scary for a kite festival organizer but the clouds cleared early and the winds came up to a reasonable level quickly. The crowds might have been down a bit because of the early weather woes but still almost 900 kites were made by the kids.

Below you will find a number of themed photo Galleries/Slideshows. The photos were broken up to make navigation a bit less cumbersome. All photos courtesy of Diane and Rick Spurgeon.
