Grays Harbor Festival of Colors is the premier, family friendly, kite festival on the west coast.This event is made for kite fliers of all skill levels with special events for kids.
In the past we have had kite fliers coming from as far away as India, Canada,
and many from the western United States. We are located in Grays Harbor on the
Washington State central coast.
Our festival is always on the first full week-end (Fri.,Sat.and Sun) in June.
The 2019 Festival of Colors is scheduled for June 7th, 8th and 9th. Our flying
beach is famous for the consistency of the winds and mild temperatures,
usually low to mid sixties at the time of the festival.
