Over the weekend I stopped by the annual Berkeley Kite Festival at the Berkeley Marina and was spellbound by these gigantic kites. On top of that there must have been thousands of smaller kites flying everywhere. It’s hard to judge by the photo above but those are the world’s biggest octopus kites, bigger than a house!
From the Berkeley Kite Festival website:
Kites aren’t just for kids any more. Experience the excitement and artistry of modern kite flying. You’ll find something for everyone at the Berkeley Kite Festival. From the Giant Creature Kites as big as houses, to the free Kite Making and Candy Drop for kids, you don’t want to miss this year’s Annual Berkeley Kite Festival.
If you have kids this is a must-see event so check it out next year if you haven’t already. The free kite making session was great,. I recommend getting there before 10am to get a decent parking spot as it gets very crowded.
