Kite Festival Returns to Cherry Valley

A scene from the 2018 Cherry Valley Kite Festival. This year the festival will be held Saturday, September 24 from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Campbell Rd., Cherry Valley.

“Kite Festivals across the world were all called off because of COVID and now they are all coming back,” said Jane Sapinsky, Executive Director Cherry Valley Artworks and coordinator of the Cherry Valley Kite Festival. “The last Kite Festival we had was 2018.”

“The kiters love the Cherry Valley event. They look forward to it every year,” she said. “We are working on getting all of those kiters back this year.”

“This event is magical. There is nothing like it, it’s such a fun event,” Ms. Sapinsky said. “They are always wonderful. When I see the results, I feel the actual act of getting it together is worth it.”
