Clockshop and California State Parks host Community & Unity, the 4th annual People’s Kite Festival, at the Los Angeles State Historic Park, next to historic Chinatown.

For the first time, a kite competition is held, inviting attendees to compete in various categories judged by kite masters, such as the best handmade kite and a flying competition.

This family-friendly cultural festival features a “gallery in the sky,” including flying demonstrations with kite masters, art workshops, the opportunity to connect with local community organizations,  and musical performances.

2024 artist, Yaeun Stevie Choi, creates three unique Korean fighter kites to bring awareness to animal species native to Los Angeles whose continued existence is threatened by urban and industrial development, including  the North American cougar, the El Segundo blue butterfly, and the Least Bell’s vireo

This event is free and open to the public. RSVP to reserve a spot. Guests can make an optional donation with RSVP.

Attendees are encouraged attendees to make their own kites or visit the website for suggestions on where to purchase eco-friendly kites ahead of the event. There will be no kite vendors at the event and instead, a very limited number of ready-to-assemble kites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
