Come on down and enjoy the Festival where the earth, wind, and sky combine to create an unequaled festival experience. Food, music, arts & crafts, a new “kids’ zone,” food – and yes… plenty of kites!! Lots to do for the whole family!

We’ll take care of your bikes while you have fun!

During the past 29 years, the Berkeley Kite Festival has developed a soaring reputation as one of the premier free family festivals on the West Coast.
And we’ll take care of your bicycle while you and your family enjoy all the activities the BKF has to offer! We’re expecting 1000 bikes over the course of the weekend so come join the fun.
Want to help out? We can still use a few volunteers to help park bikes – the cool thing is that you get to see the kites flying while you’re at our table!
Thanks.
