Breezy shores and open fields are the perfect formula for flying a kite – on Governors Island, of course. The Alliance will host its annual Let’s Fly a Kite day on Saturday, July 23. There will be hundreds of free kites for everyone who gets there early enough.

Island staff and volunteers will help young kite-nauts assemble their craft and launch them, starting at 11. Kite Central is the Parade Ground, between Nolan Park and the Colonel’s Row houses. Come! Fly a kite! Thanks to Goldman Sachs Community Team Works for sponsoring this event.
