Go Fly A Kite At A Festival On Governor’s Island This Saturday (Partner Post)

This is the last weekend of the summer you can visit Governor’s Island, and they’re sending off the season with a bang — their first-ever Brooklyn Kite Festival takes flight this Saturday, September 27 from 11am-4pm, and it should be a beautiful day to enjoy outside with the family!

Brooklyn ARTery, which has a seasonal store on the island and a permanent shop in Ditmas Park, has joined forces with the Brooklyn Kite Fest to host the event, which will give kite-enthusiasts the chance to to build, fly, and admire kites of all kinds while taking advantage of Governors Island’s gusty waterfronts and Parade Grounds.

While you’re there, you can also check out some of the other great stuff still available to see on the island, including Hammock Grove, a 3D video portrait installation, food vendors, and more.

You can catch the ferry to the island from Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 6 — find a schedule and directions here.
