• Birch Bay Kid’s Kite Festival Returns to Birch Bay State Park!

Birch Bay, WA – The Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce the return of the Kid’s Kite Festival at Birch Bay State Park on June 21-22, 2025. This free, family-friendly event celebrates the joy of kite flying while showcasing the natural beauty of Birch Bay’s stunning shoreline. Children will receive free kites (while supplies last) to decorate and fly in the open skies above Birch Bay. Kite enthusiasts will also find a variety of kites and spinners for sale, ensuring everyone can participate in the fun. Beyond the kites, the festival features interactive entertainment, including performances by Wren the Juggler, the Big Bubble Show, and musician Michael Dayvid. Families can also engage in exciting educational activities provided by Blaine-Birch Bay Park and Recreation District 2, Friends of Birch Bay State Park, and Friends of Birch Bay Library. These organizations will offer hands-on programs that highlight nature, recreation, and local history. Visitors can explore a diverse selection of craft and food vendors, making the festival a full-day experience for all ages. Whether enjoying a picnic on the beach, marveling at colorful kites in the sky, or participating in interactive exhibits, attendees will be immersed in the natural splendor of Birch Bay State Park. “This festival is a celebration of the simple joys of childhood, family, and community,” said Sacha Sanguinetti, Executive Director of the Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce. “With the breathtaking backdrop of Birch Bay State Park, we invite families to come enjoy a weekend of outdoor fun, creativity, and discovery.” The Kid’s Kite Festival is free to attend, though a Washington State Discover Pass is required for parking within Birch Bay State Park.
