10 Unbelievable Kite Videos for Kite Flying Day

Most of us have had an unusually mild winter, so having 'Kite Flying Day' in February doesn’t seem like that bad an idea. Any other year, and the annual return of Kite Flying Day on February 8th would seem sad for those of us who can’t go out and celebrate.

Kite flying is a popular pastime for many cultures, most of which hold festivals in the winter, because their climates will allow the traditionally summer activity. The hobby has grown in popularity in the US as well, although it might make more sense to have our Kite Flying Day in May or June.
