(Seguin) – The Seguin ISD wants you to go fly a kite this weekend. The school district is inviting the Seguin ISD community to its inaugural Kite Festival this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Manuel Castilla Park.
Sean Hoffmann, the chief communications officer for the Seguin ISD, says the district is excited about partnering up with the Seguin Parks and Recreation Department to bring families this free event.
“We will have several hands-on activities for children of all ages including kite making and kite flying so we are hoping for a sunny, windy day on Saturday so our students can try their kites and get them up in the air. In addition to that, there will be free food and community vendors. Several sponsors on hand promoting health and awareness activities. This coming May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we are kind of kicking that off with this event and asking the community to come out for a couple of hours and really take advantage of some of the opportunities and some of the vendors and sponsors on hand and have some fun. With COVID kind of being more and more in the background of our lives each day as we move forward and people able to get out and about in the community, we thought this would be a great spring weekend to host this event and invite our families to come out for some fun,” said Hoffmann.
Hoffmann says coming out and participating has been made easy.
“Our families can bring their own kites if they prefer to, or they can probably plan on making one there at the event. Bring chairs, blankets if they want to sit and hang out for a few hours or a few minutes whatever works best. We are just glad we are able to host this event right now and have the community come out,” said Hoffmann.
Arts and crafts and door prizes will also be provided. Manuel Castilla Park is located at 2261 N. Guadalupe St.
