Sound & Color! Spring Festival at Brooklyn Bridge Park

Sound & Color! Spring Festival at Brooklyn Bridge Park is a celebration of colors, culture, spring, and unity. Expanding the Conservancy’s beloved Kite Festival, this year they’re adding music to our Colors throughout the Park!

Watch your kite soar above the Manhattan skyline the one day of the year kite-flying is open to the public at Brooklyn Bridge Park at Pier 5. Join for kite-making workshops and be awed at the talent of expert flying instructors – and learn some tips! This family-friendly festival unites S.T.E.A.M concepts, the Caribbean’s rich history of kite-flying, and outdoor adventures. Launch your kites, enjoy live entertainment and music, and learn all about the science of flight through kite-flying activities and experiments.
