Council on Aging of West Florida is bringing high-flying, intergenerational fun to Pensacola’s Casino Beach Friday, March 17 and Saturday, March 18 with its second annual Kites on the Coast event. This free community event will feature eye-catching show kites by Chicago Kite along with stunt kite demonstrations from SkyFX. The event will also include food trucks, kids’ activities, and more.
Kites on the Coast promotes fun across all ages with the classic pastime of kite flying over the beautiful setting of Casino Beach. Families can bring a kite to fly, purchase one at the event, or sit back and enjoy the sight of colorful kites soaring above the shore. Friday’s event kicks off at 4 pm until 10 pm, with a lighted night fly after sunset, and Saturday’s festivities will be from 10 am until 4 pm.
This event also aims to raise awareness of Council on Aging and its programs and services for those who need assistance for themselves or for an aging loved one. Donations will be accepted at the event.
Council on Aging is grateful for its Soaring Supporter sponsors Navy Federal Credit Union, Emerald Coast Hospice, WellCare, Centennial Bank. Additional sponsorships from Assisted Living Locators, Azalea Trace, Levin Rinke Realty, and Life Care Center of Pensacola support this event. Funds raised from sponsorships and donations at the event support Council on Aging’s programs and services like Meals on Wheels, caregiver support, and The Retreat adult day care, all of which help seniors in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties age safely in place in their most comfortable surroundings.
