Birch Bay's Kids Kite Festival

The Birch Bay Kids Kite Festival is a vibrant, family-friendly celebration held each summer at Birch Bay State Park. This free, two-day event fills the shoreline with colorful, easy-to-fly kites soaring over the bay, creating a lively coastal experience for all ages. 

Kids and families can enjoy hands-on kite making and flying, interactive entertainment, live performances, and engaging educational activities. Local craft and food vendors add to the festive atmosphere, making it easy to spend the day by the water. 

This event invites everyone to experience the simple joy of a gentle breeze, creativity, and community along one of Whatcom County’s most beautiful beaches.

Discover Pass is required for parking $10/day or $45/year.
