It's Kite Day In New Rochelle

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — The only thing that could possibly be more fun than flying a kite is flying a kite with new friends.

New Rochelle Parks and Recreation’s 8th annual Kite Day at Davenport Park will have plenty of time for both. The long-awaited May 8 event will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Both kids and grownups are welcome to come and show off their flying skills.

There will be a limited number of kits available for youngsters who want to try their hand at building their own kite, but participants are encouraged to bring their own special kites as well.

While the chance to go fly a kite with neighbors is a large part of the appeal of Kite Day, the festivities will strictly follow coronavirus safety protocols.

Advance registration is encouraged to help make sure there are enough kite kits available for all of the participants. Pre-registration is also recommended, just in case coronavirus contact tracing should be necessary.

For further information or to register, call the Department of Parks and Recreation at 914-654-2088 or 914-654-2087.
