Also returning for their 17th appearance, the Canadian Dream Team will showcase two GIANT whale kites, the debut of a new 120-foot Trilobite kite, and the exclusive IKEA Shark Kite, available only at the Outta Sight Kite Flight.

Additional featured performers include Milwaukee professional kite flyer Paul Koepke, Vancouver’s Jim Almas, and Montreal’s Jean Lemire, who will attempt to fly three to four stunt kites simultaneously to music, and The Flying Emus, performing with four-line stunt kites. Amy and Connie Doran, known from America’s Got Talent, will also entertain guests throughout the weekend.

Families won’t want to miss the Leaf Guard Kids Mad Dash, where the first 100 participating children each day will receive a free kite and launch them together in a colorful sky-filled celebration.
