Kite Party Huntington Beach
March 9 & 10, Huntington Beach Pier
Note this is the second Saturday in March and traditionally the March General Meeting is moved to the Third Saturday since a number of members will be at Kite Party.
To be an official Kite Party participant you must be registered (limited number). However if you don’t make the cut you can still go. Lots of good stuff to see and people to meet and talk to. You can always go a short ways down the beach and fly if you just can’t stand not flying.
