The Treasure Island Kite Festival will return Jan. 16-18 at 10700 Gulf Blvd. The gathering skipped last year because hurricanes tore through the region. Visit St. Pete Clearwater presents this three-day celebration next to the Thunderbird Inn.
Kites measuring up to 90 feet will soar overhead. Fliers have traveled from distant countries to display their creations alongside teams from nearby towns.
Expect showcases, workshops, and competitive sport kiting. You can join community flying activities too. Free lessons and demonstrations will help beginners throughout the weekend…
