The City of Fremont Recreation Services Division is holding
its annual Kids n Kites Festival on Saturday, May 20. Located in Central Park,
next to Aqua Adventure Waterpark, the festival includes free kites to the first
4,000 children in attendance.
Kids n Kites has been an annual Fremont event for nearly two
decades, ever since Recreation Superintendent Ginny Duffy had the idea to
recreate a popular Fremont event dating to the 1980s. Event attendance has
grown from about 1,000 visitors back in 2000 to last year’s estimated 13,000.
The Kids and Kites Festival, says Assistant Recreation
Supervisor Anisha Mistry, is a great opportunity to spend time with the family.
There’s always good food, and in addition to the retail and community service
participants, the City of Fremont will host several booths where visitors can
find out about the City’s many exciting summer activities. Also,
representatives from Fremont’s Vision Zero/2020 program will be on hand to talk
about traffic safety.
Loads of great live entertainment is scheduled for the main
stage, including a performance by members of Fremont Recreation Service’s dance
department.
Anyone who wants to get an early start on summer can walk
next door to Aqua Adventure Water Parks Pre-season Splash. Weather permitting,
the park will open from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. A special admission fee of only $6
includes use of 40-foot waterslides, a 700-foot lazy river, and a little squirt
play area. Season passes will be on sale, and the retail shop will be open. The
Waterpark officially opens for business on Saturday, May 27, but the sneak peek
allows visitors to enjoy it early!
