Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center will host its annual kick-off to summer event, “Kites for Kids,” on Saturday, May 23, from 2 to 5 PM at Main Beach in East Hampton. All proceeds from the high-flying, family-friendly event benefit the Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center.
The Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center is a licensed, nonprofit childcare center in East Hampton, open year-round and providing all-day care for working families in the community, with fees among the lowest on Long Island.
Kites are $15 and may be reserved online. Discounts are available when purchasing multiple kites. Special one-of-a-kind kites decorated by Whitmore Kids are also available for purchase at $50 a kite. Guests can fly their kite in style with new Kites for Kids bucket hats. Available in both kids’ and adults’ sizes, these add-ons can be purchased along with the kites and picked up at the event.
Participants are encouraged to reserve their kites ahead of time and can deck them out at the event with stickers, ribbons, glitter, and markers at the kite decorating station. Free special parking at Main Beach is available for event guests.
