Kites soar over Brooklyn Bridge Park
Beautiful warm weather on the last weekend of summer brought great community spirit to Brooklyn Bridge Park for the annual Kite Festival. Hundreds of adults and children filled the waterfront of Pier 1, families spreading back as far as the face painting booths at the top of the park lawn.
A variety of colorful kites soared high above the skyline and the wind level seemed perfect for the fun, family-friendly event… although sadly some kites were seen disappearing deep into the East River.
