Kite Day

Let’s go fly a kite! Chico Area Recreation and Park District (CARD) invites you to Kite Day, a fun and free community event to give families the opportunity to play outside. Join us Sunday, March 19, between 12–4 p.m. at 20th Street Community Park, located at 1900 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Local radio station 92.7 BOB FM will be playing music throughout the afternoon alongside activities like face painting, bounce houses, activities from CARD and more!

Our friends from the Gateway Science Museum will be teaching how winds are generated to fly a kite with a hands-on experiment about clouds, and Chico Kid’s Museum will be there too! CARD will have information booths on youth and adult programming, special events planned for the year, and current park improvement projects. For a special treat, come sing “Chim Chim Cheree” with Mary Poppins and Bert from 1-3 p.m. for a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious time!  

For hungry folks, popular Fork in the Road food trucks will be on hand with delicious grub.

Sponsors Bird in Hand, Lamar Advertising, and Golden Valley Bank help make Kite Day possible. CARD will have complimentary kites available for the first 100 kids and Bird in Hand will have complimentary commemorative buttons for all kite flyers. See you March 19!
