Is there any better way to have some innocent, good old-fashioned fun than to go fly a kite? If you haven’t tried it in awhile, we highly recommend it. It’s inexpensive, and you can fly solo or bring a friend. Or in the case of this Florida kite festival, lots of friends. Once you see how incredible these kites are, you won’t want to miss it.

The Treasure Island Kite Festival & Sport Kite Competition is held every year in January in this island city near St. Petersburg.
