The whole family will be delighted at the Lincoln City Summer Kite Festival. Gaze up at huge, colorful octopuses swimming through the skies, whales breaching the clouds, and fast Rokkaku kites dancing through the air in loops and whorls.
Traditionally held on the beach at the D River Wayside, the 2026 Summer Kite Festival will be held at Chinook Winds Casino Resort.
