About Us

It all began on a crisp, breezy morning as my wife, our two children, and I strolled along the sandy shores of Long Beach, Washington. The distant sound of laughter and the flutter of colorful kites dancing in the sky beckoned us closer. It was the annual Long Beach Washington Kite Festival, a vibrant celebration of artistry and aviation that would change the course of our lives forever.

As we approached the festival grounds, the eyes of our son and daughter lit up with excitement. Their small fingers pointed skyward, tracing the paths of majestic kites that painted the sky with a kaleidoscope of hues. It was as if the entire beach had been transformed into a dreamscape, and we were stepping into a world of wonder.

Families and friends gathered on the beach, their faces filled with awe and joy. The festival was not only a visual spectacle but also a sensory delight, with the soothing sounds of waves crashing in the background and the feel of the ocean breeze against our skin. It was a moment of pure joy and togetherness, a reminder of the simple pleasures that could bring a family closer.

Unable to resist the allure of the festival, we decided to join in on the festivities. With colorful kites in hand, we became part of the community of kite enthusiasts, feeling the thrill of the wind tugging at the strings as our kites soared high above. Our children's laughter echoed on the beach as they watched their kites dance with the others in the sky. It was an exhilarating experience, a connection to the sky and to each other.

As the sun began to set, we found ourselves immersed in conversations with kite artisans and fellow festival-goers. Their passion was infectious, and their stories inspired us. It was during these heartwarming exchanges that the idea took root—a dream of sharing this joy, this sense of wonder, with people far and wide.

Upon returning home, my wife and I set out to turn that dream into reality. Let's Go Fly Kites, our online kite store, was born. It became a labor of love, a place where the spirit of the Long Beach Washington Kite Festival could live on year-round. The store offered an exquisite collection of sport kites and decorative windsock kites, carefully curated to capture the essence of that magical day on the beach.

Through Let's Go Fly Kites, we aimed to spread the joy of kite-flying, to connect with enthusiasts, and to bring a touch of the festival's magic to backyards, gardens, and parks everywhere. Each kite carried with it a piece of that Long Beach experience—a reminder that, with a little imagination and a gust of wind, families like ours could soar to new heights, together.

The Long Beach Washington Kite Festival had not only filled our hearts with wonder but also inspired us to embark on a new adventure as a family. It was a journey of passion, creativity, and the simple joy of flying kites, one that continues to enrich the lives of kite enthusiasts and adventurers around the world through Let's Go Fly Kites.
