While we travel to many other kite festivals throughout the country, we thoroughly enjoy hosting the
largest winter kite festival in the Midwest right here in Clear Lake, Iowa.
We utilize the frozen waters of our 3,000 acre lake as a huge flying field. Serious kite flyers from
at least 9 states travel to join us in a massive display of huge, colorful show kites, art kites and ground displays in February
of each year. Stunt kite flying teams join us to perform kite "dances" choreographed to music.
This year will mark the 9th anniversary of Color the Wind. We hope you will join us! Hot food and beverages
are available on site. You can also purchase your own kite to fly and have a blast right along with the "pros"!
