Each spring, the skies over Port Aransas come alive with color during the Fly It Port A Spring Kite Festival, a family‑friendly beach event that perfectly complements a stay at La Mirage Condominiums.
Held on Mother’s Day weekend, the festival features stunning kites of all sizes soaring above the shoreline. While kites may be flying throughout the weekend, Saturday, May 9, 2026, is the main day of the event.
What to Expect
- Kite flyers begin setting up around 10:00 a.m.
- Flying takes place between beach markers 1 and 20
- Kites fly all day, weather permitting
- Depending on conditions, you may even catch a glimpse of night kites
- Guests are welcome to bring their own kite or simply relax and enjoy the show
This colorful coastal tradition is a wonderful way to spend a spring day by the Gulf—and it’s just minutes from La Mirage. Whether you’re watching from the sand or flying a kite of your own, the Spring Kite Festival is a memorable Port Aransas experience you won’t want to miss.
