Annual Kite Fly Festival Coming to Frontier Sports Complex

Free, family-friendly event will feature learn-to-fly kite lessons, stunts and demonstrations.

A sure sign of summer is the sight of a colorful kite flying in the breeze against a blue sky. What better place in which to fly a kite than Naperville’s Frontier Sports Complex? 

With plenty of open space and steady winds, Frontier Sports Complex will host the Naperville Park District’s 7th annual Kite Fly Festival on Sunday, June 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This free, family-friendly event is presented by BMO Harris. Additional sponsors include Tide Dry Cleaners, Naperville Development Partnership/Naperville Convention and Visitors’ Bureau, and Eye Level (formerly Enopi).
