Celebrate Spring with the 2nd Annual Broadneck Kite Festival
The kite fly and picnic are scheduled for April 21 at Broadneck Park.
On April 21, the sky at Broadneck Park will be filled with kites of all shapes and sizes.
The second-annual Broadneck Kite Festival, hosted by the Friends of Broadneck Park, will once again take flight later this month. The free event is open to the public and everyone is invited to attend.
"Pack a picnic, your kite, and bring the family down to Broadneck Park," reads the flyer for the event. "Celebrate your community, meet your neighbors, fly a kite!"

Last year's festival was part of a fundraiser for Broadneck Park to generate funds for a renovation to the park's playground. But this year's event is just for fun, said event organizer Kara McGuirk-Allison.
