Important! Read this!!
There are several power lines that cross the Solfest site and a number of local hazards that make kite flying extremely dangerous. The professional kite flyers who attend Solfest are highly experienced and fully insured against any possible incident.
We ask that you enjoy their weekend kite displays but please do not bring your own kites to Solfest. They are not permitted anywhere inside the main festival arena or camping areas.
