Pack a picnic lunch and your favorite kite for noon on April 21 at Broadneck Park, where the first-ever Broadneck Kite Festival will be held. 

The event is being hosted by the Friends of Broadneck Park, a neighborhood group dedicated to restoring the playground and park to its former glory. The group operates under the umbrella of Broadneck Area Youth Sports (BAYS).

The Friends of Broadneck Park was created by Kara McGuirk-Allison, who is trying to raise funds to restore the Broadneck Park playground.

The Broadneck Kite Festival will be another way to raise awareness of the need for park improvements, McGuirk-Allison said. 

There is no admission fee, but registration is required. Donations are welcome.
