Crafty kite enthusiasts, start your wind-powered engines: the Williamsburg Kite Festival is back for another year of G-rated good times. Make your own or bring a store-bought flying machine; the fest will be setting up at McCarren Park tomorrow, May 17th. Here's what to expect:
The public is invited to attend this colorful, daylong festival of kite flying, crafts and games for all ages, which for the past 3 years has supported arts in education and fostered kinship within the diverse neighborhoods of north Brooklyn.There will also be live performances by The Hungry March Band, I.S. 318 Marching Band, Bubble do Beatles, Audra Rox, Lulu and the Amazing Jeske, Greenpoint Shotokan Karate and Metro Dance.
A "neighborhood cafe" will serve hungry attendees, and yes, the kite hostpital will be on hand again, tending to any injured flyers. The fest is part of It's My Park! Day and is free for all.

I don't know Jen Carlson, and maybe she's a really great person, but it feels like everything she writes annoys the living crap out of me.
The posts about Hotel Chelsea, or some Park Slope Community Board, even a simple report about a kite festival makes my skin crawl. It's weird, I've never had such a consistently bad reaction to a person's writing style; it's like an allergy or something.
On the flip side, I don't mind Jen Chung's writing style a bit. Sure, she makes a lot of spelling errors and doesn't care a lick about proofreading, but her style is direct and unpretentious.
Way to harsh my kite boner. I was just thinking about diggin' my paper flier out and getting it ready for tomorrow!
jeez...leave it to gothamist commenters to get annoyed by KITES. what's next, bitching about your baby panda avatar?
thanks for the tip, jen.
