Outer Banks Rogallo Kite Festival

You are invited to join us and fly a kite at the 44th Annual Rogallo Kite Festival to celebrate Francis Rogallo and his many accomplishments. Francis Rogallo was a NASA scientist and inventor of the flexible wing. His inventions started the sport of hang gliding and his designs have carried over into the development of stunt kites, power kites, and hang gliders that are flown today.

Kitty Hawk Kites and friends will be displaying amazing 30 – 100 ft kites on top of Jockey’s Ridge State Park. Join us and fly a kite of your own, take part in FREE walk-up stunt kite lessons, kite coloring for kids of all ages, or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the spectacular kites as they fly in the sky.
