GUIDELINES FOR FUN at the 2022 Maryland International Kite Expo:
There are amazing things to see and enjoy at MIKE 2022: kites of all shapes & sizes flying in the sky, ground displays featuring colorful banners & inflatable objects, giant bubbles, sport kite demonstrations, kites with lights at night, kite flying lessons and more.
All activities are wind and weather dependent. Dry weather & a steady breeze are important for kite flying. It is also possible to have too much wind.
To make sure everyone has a great experience, it is important to follow a few BASIC GUIDELINES FOR FUN!
Spectators can enjoy MIKE 2022 from the boardwalk or the beach. There are designated areas for activities and different types/sizes of kites. (see field map posted at The Kite Loft) Please do not enter the competition or demonstration fields.
It is important for spectators and kite-fliers to BE AWARE! Always LOOK UP & LOOK DOWN!
*Be careful as you walk through the flying fields. It is possible to be looking up at the beautiful kites only to trip over a ground anchor or ground display at your feet, or walk into flying line.
* Kites are tethered to ground anchors using strong lines.
* Kites occasionally fall out of the sky, kite lines can break and kites can break free from ground anchors without warning.
* Changes in wind speed or direction will also cause the kites to change flight direction or come down.
* Kites may range in size from several inches to over 100 feet long, Some kites have hard frames (sticks) while others are soft kites/inflatables with fabric that fills with air.
* Kites may have multiple lines supporting or controlling them.
Please ask your children to be responsible and to stay close to you. It is easy for excited young visitors to get separated or wander away.
Please DO NOT TOUCH the kites, lines or ground displays without the kite owner’s permission!
Most important…HAVE FUN! Meet & talk with the kiters! Ask questions! Kite-fliers are friendly and love to talk about their creations, experiences and share kite flying tips. HAVE MORE FUN by flying a kite!
