Kite masters, kite enthusiasts, and onlookers alike will gather at the grounds of the Washington Monument to experience kite flying competitions and demonstrations, family-friendly kitemaking activities, musical performances and more. To honor America’s 250th Birthday, the 2026 Kitemakers Competition theme will be “Red, White and Bloom.” The event also includes Sakura Taiko Fest, a high-energy, rousing celebration of sound featuring an incredible lineup of Taiko drummers from across the Eastern Seaboard.
