This all-ages, family-friendly cultural festival brings together diverse communities in Los Angeles through the art of kites and a day of joyful connection in this important public green space. Clockshop invites attendees to participate in free arts workshops, enjoy live music, and meet local community organizations to learn about their work in the nearby neighborhoods.

The Kite Festival is designed as a celebration to honor the communities surrounding Los Angeles State Historic Park that fought for and steward this public parkland, recognizing their resilience, cultural histories, and aspirations.

 

Clockshop encourages attendees to make their own kites or visit the ‘eco-friendly kite options’ section here for suggestions on where to purchase or make kites ahead of the event.

In an effort to limit plastic waste, a kite vendor will not be present at the event and instead, we will provide a very limited number of ready-to-assemble kites on a first-come, first-served basis.

This event is free and open to the public.

A $5 donation supports Clockshop to continue free public programming and artist commissions. Thank you!
