There was a little bit of everything this year in Grand Haven.

Friday was mostly rain for the kite workshops with wind coming over the trees. Challenging.

Saturday was foggy all day. Wind was light and variable.

Sunday was perfect. Sun and wind off the water. Thousands of people on the beach, some even paying attention to the kites.

What would be a festival without pictures:

Great pictures. I currently live a little farther north outside Mackinaw City, but when I lived in Grand Rapids my favorite spot for flying was Grand Haven.
