Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center will present its annual summer event “Kites for Kids” on Saturday, August 22, from 2 to 5 PM at Main Beach in East Hampton. The event was rescheduled from its original May date due to weather. 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.
Each kite costs $15 and may be reserved online. Those who reserved their kites for the original date will automatically be registered. However, if purchasers are unable to attend on the new date, they may request a refund.
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 in advance 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.
