In an effort to raise funds for local breast cancer survivors, the 28th Annual Summer Kite Festival will be held June 18, 19 and 20, on the beach in front of the Boardwalk Motel at 2203 N. Ocean Blvd, in Myrtle Beach.
The event Thursday and Friday will take place from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday’s event runs from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. or until the kites are all given out. According to a news release from Caring in Our Lifetime, kites will be given away to the first 500 participating children ages 12 and under.
The group says everyone is welcome to attend this free event and come out to fly a kite as well as take a look at free kite flying exhibitions and shows.
World renowned kite flyers will be in town to demonstrate their kite flying skills as well as give lessons to those interested in learning how to fly single line as well as stunt kites.
There will be a Kite Festival Kick Off Party Thursday, June 18, from 7 - 11 p.m. at Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery, Broadway at the Beach. A live band will perform from 7:30 - 10:30 p.m. Five percent of food and beverage sales will benefit Caring In Our Lifetime.
The kite festival is sponsored by Klig’s Kites. Proceeds will benefit Caring In Our Lifetime, which was first organized in 1997 to raise funds for a local breast cancer survivor. The effort has continued annually to help many more survivors with their medical bills and other expenses related to breast cancer.
Caring In Our Lifetime has raised more than $300,000 to help local survivors in Horry and Georgetown counties.
