Carmel Valley Ranch to host inaugural Kite Festival
Soaring golf balls will give way to colorful kites for a day on the driving range at Carmel Valley Ranch when the resort hosts its first Kite Festival from noon to 6 p.m. April 1. Novices can use kite-building and decorating stations to create their own kites, with free kits for the first 200 guests. Intended to be an annual event, the free festival will also include friendly competitions, live music, games such as three-legged races and balloon tosses, and locally sourced food, ice cream and drinks for sale.
