The Ontario Beach Park Program Committee’s annual Kite Flight brought Rochesterians of all ages and from all walks of life together on the shores of Great Lake Ontario Sunday to celebrate the art and joy of kite flying. This year’s Kite Flight took place at Ontario Beach Park.
Expert kite flyers showed off their unique colorful creations and amazed the crowd with their skills, and the public had ample chances to fly too. Recreation on the Move, the City’s mobile recreation center, was on hand throughout the day, and City Recreation staff provided free, kite-building workshops for kids 12 and under.
In addition, performers from Roc City Circus entertained the whole family with their own aerodynamics and acrobatics, and the Charlotte Community Association’s expert chefs grilled hots and served up other treats, along with kite kits, to support their community work.
The Ontario Beach Park Program Committee (OBPPC) is a Not for Profit, 501(c)(3) corporation dedicated to producing free and low cost family entertainment events in Ontario Beach Park, the Port of Rochester harbor and the lower Genesee river area in Rochester, New York. Comprised entirely of volunteers, the organization’s mission is to promote the use and responsible development of Rochester’s unique Lake Ontario and Genesee River resources.
