On Memorial Day weekend, FREE family friendly fun awaits on Beech Mountain. Kids of all ages are invited to the meadow behind Famous Brick Oven Pizzeria (402 Beech Mountain Parkway) to cover Beech Mountain’s blue skies with kites of all shapes and colors. Our signature 5,560 feet in elevation, makes it easy to sail kites more than a mile above sea level. This beloved event features craft and food vendors, kite demonstrations, and music. Don’t have a kite? Fret not. Free kites are provided for kids 12 and under to decorate (while supplies last). The event will be held on May 23rd from 10am – 4pm, so join us for a cool summer day on Beech Mountain.
