Are you coming to Atlantic Beach? You’re going to be looking for things to do in Atlantic Beach once you get here. With so many attractions and destinations here, where should you start?! Having a “lazy day” is a staple for any vacation. Who wants to be bustling around? An Atlantic Beach vacation is the perfect time to relax your troubles away!
If you’re bringing the kids, you should check out these Atlantic Beach North Carolina upcoming events! The area offers so much for you and your family to enjoy when staying at an Atlantic Beach oceanfront rental.
And one of the best combinations of “lazy day” and family fun is the Carolina Kite Fest!
What is the Carolina Kite Fest?
Do you and your kids love to see high-flying floats? Then you need to come down to the Carolina Kite Fest! This annual festival is fun for the whole family. For two days, you can sit on the beach and watch more than 100 kites hit the skies. These aren’t just any kind of kites. These kites take all kinds of shapes! Watch as animal-shaped kites take flight and soar through the sky. This is the perfect “lazy day” event if you and your family only want to lounge around and enjoy the beach. The best part is, it’s just a short trip from our Atlantic Beach condo rentals.
Where is it?
You can join in on the fun in Fort Macon! Hosted by the Kites Unlimited & BirdStuff, they set their kites high on the beach in Fort Macon. You’ll be right on the beach when they let the kites fly. If you still want some beach time, check out our guide to beach access in Atlantic Beach!
When is it?
The Carolina Kite Festival takes place in October! You can join in on the fun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. If you missed the day festival, you can always join their Nite Fly! After 6 p.m., on Saturday, you can join in on the fun at night!
And if you miss the Carolina Kite Festival, no need to worry! Every Sunday from September – May at 10 a.m., they start flying kites! And all throughout the Summer, starting at 9 a.m., you can still enjoy high-flying fun.
