LBI FLY Invitational Kite Festival

The 12th Annual LBI FLY Invitational Kite Festival is scheduled for October 9 and October 10, 2026 on Long Beach Island. The official LBI kite festival features large show kites, sport kites, demonstrations, family-friendly beach viewing, and participating kite teams, with main kite fields traditionally based in Ship Bottom and related activity across the island. Because the festival is islandwide and draws Beach Haven visitors, it is useful for a Beach Haven tourism calendar, but Beach Haven-specific activity should be confirmed with LBI FLY before publication.
