 Date: 9/2 - 9/02
Ever wondered how much string it takes to fly a kite a mile high? Only a couple hundred feet if you attend the Mile High Kite Festival on Beech Mountain. This is a wonderful tradition on Beech Mountain, as the community welcomes back the Richmond Air Force and Wings Across Carlina Kiting and Okra Society Kiting Clubs.
