2nd Annual Community & Unity People’s Kite Festival

Clockshop and California State Parks are hosting the 2nd Annual Community & Unity People’s Kite Festival on May 21, 2– 6pm, at Los Angeles State Historic Park, next to historic Chinatown, Los Angeles.

This is a free, family-friendly cultural festival uniting diverse communities in Los Angeles through the art of kite making and a day full of joy, culture, and uplift through the arts. It features a “gallery in the sky” in collaboration with the American Kiteflyers Association; flying demonstrations with kite masters Kim Wong and the Tyrus Wong Family, Scott Skinner, and Joe Hadzicki; natural fabric dyeing workshops with artist Carly Lake, design/printmaking workshops with Yuju Yeo and Dewey Tafoya, and paper crafts with the Chinese American Museum; and musical performances with DJ Gui Spina, Johny Miguel Trombone and Electronics, and the Changui Majadero band. Food catering will be provided by CARGO Snack Shack at the LA State Historic Park.

Unique kite designs to be unveiled by Artist Audrey Chan in collaboration with kitemaster Scott Skinner referencing both the social histories of LA State Historic Park as well as a rallying cry to preserve public land for future generations.

Community & Unity Kite Festival is made possible by the support and sponsorship of CA State Parks, the American Kiteflyers Association, the Resources Legacy Foundation, REI Co-op, the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, and Clockshop’s generous community of donors.
