Outer Banks Watermelon Festival
4th Annual Watermelon Festival
August 12th, 2010
Kitty Hawk Kites and the Wright Flight Foundation will hold the 4th Annual Watermelon Festival on Thursday, August 12, at the Kitty Hawk Kite store in Nags Head (mile post 12.5).
The festival is a big outdoor summer bash with a homegrown backyard feel. It is one of the most unique festivals on the Outer Banks!
A lot of fun activities for kids and parents:
- the dunk tank,
- moon bounce,
- inflatable obstacle course,
- watermelon seed spitting distance contests,
- pie eating contests,
- t-shirt tye dying,
- face painting,
- And of course, tons of watermelon!
Kitty Hawk Kites staff will be on site teaching kids how to use juggling sticks, balance boards, and letting them try out all of our top selling toys.
There will also be great music, food vendors on site, and one of the best raffles on the beach! They will give away over $2000 worth of prizes.
Proceeds from the Watermelon Festival go directly to the Wright Flight Foundation–a local non-profit that rewards 5th graders, who achieve their academic goals, with flight! The foundation has helped improve performance in local school districts and has given children the opportunities to do things like hang gliding, tandem hang gliding, and plane rides, that they may have not been able to do before. Students are also educated about the history and basic principles of flight.
