✨ Why This Festival Is Worth Your Weekend
There’s something genuinely joyful about a field full of kites. Giant inflatable creatures drifting overhead, kids tugging their first homemade kite into the wind, pro fliers swooping choreographed routines across the sky — it’s the kind of simple, screen-free fun that’s become surprisingly rare.
Brampton KiteFest has been doing it for over a decade, and it’s the kind of festival that picks up awards for the effort. It’s also a recognized Experience Brampton event — a real fixture of the local summer calendar.
What makes it special is how easygoing it is. Spread a blanket, let the kids build and fly a kite, grab some food, and spend a relaxed afternoon outdoors with the whole family. No rush, no fuss — just wind, colour and community.
🫨 What’s On
Two days, one big open sky, and plenty to do whether you’re flying or just watching.
🫨 Professional Kite Displays
Watch expert fliers paint the skies with choreographed performances and eye-catching show kites throughout the day.
🧥 Build & Fly Your Own
Kids learn to build and fly a kite — and the science behind why it soars. Bring your own kite too, if you like.
🍔 Food & Local Vendors
Local vendors and community organizations bring food and other fun — a full day out, not just a flypast.
🌱 Outdoor & Eco-Friendly
A celebration of fresh air and eco-friendly recreation in a relaxed, friendly community atmosphere.
🧥 Kites & Kite Kits
No kite? No problem. You can pick one up at the event or order ahead — and everyone’s welcome to bring their own to fly.
🏪 The Kite Shoppe
An on-site shop with a range of kites for you, your family and friends — perfect if you decide to fly once you arrive.

💡 Tips for Enjoying KiteFest
🪑 Pack a blanket or lawn chair. You’ll want somewhere comfy to sit back and watch the sky — this is a settle-in-and-relax kind of day.
☀️ Sunscreen and water. It’s a wide-open park with little shade — come prepared for an afternoon in the sun.
🟚 Plan your parking. Head straight for the school lot on Glenvale Blvd, not the park — it’ll save you circling the neighbourhood.
🫨 Order kits ahead. Pre-purchasing Kite Kits online means you just pick up and fly — no waiting at the shop.
👶 Make it a family day. Building and flying a first kite is a real highlight for kids — give yourselves time to enjoy it together.

Twelve years on, Brampton KiteFest has become a beloved part of the city’s summer — an award-winning, recognized Experience Brampton event, made possible by local vendors, community organizations and sponsors. Come together, celebrate and have fun.
