Scarborough Beach Narragansett, RI
The second annual Southern
New England Kite Championships will be held this September 15 and 16 at
Scarborough State Beach Narragansett RI.
The top competitive kite
fliers of all kinds from all over the Northeast will converge on Scarborough
beach for two days of fun and spirited competitions. The competitors will be
competing for regional and national points as the festival will be sanctioned
by the both the American Kitefliers
Association and the Eastern League
Sport Kite Association.
There will be lessons for
those who would like to learn to fly and a clinic conducted by two former
national champions for those who have never competed and would like to
try. There will be a single-line field
to fill the sky with kites and extra room for anyone who would like to come and
fly with us.
The former Narragansett
Festival has moved down the road to a bigger venue on the grass at Scarborough
State Beach also in Narragansett. This
new location has excellent wind and faces the ocean. There is room for two
Competition fields both 275 x 300 as
well as plenty of room for kites of all kinds on the 20+ acres of grass.
Scarborough State Beach has a convenient bathhouse, ample parking.
