The 2021 festival has been officially cancelled. However, many kite fliers and enthusiasts report having already booked rooms and plan to fly on the open beach informally. There may still be some fun kites to check out.

The Grays Harbor Festival of Colors is always the first fully weekend in June and this is where kite fans want to be. Did you know you can fly a kite in Ocean Shores 365 days per year? The wind here is ideal for kite flyers and there will be all sizes and shapes of them in the sky for viewers and flyers to enjoy.

Everyone from novice to professional kite flyers will line the beaches of Ocean Shores to have fun, show off unique kites, and flying skills.

Popular locations are the State Route 115/Damon Road beach access road by the main entrance to Ocean Shores and the Chance A La Mer beach access road by the Shilo Inn.
