I've been going to Highland Kites at the Berkeley Marina for over a dozen years I think. Tom is super nice and uber knowledgeable. He's helped me fix my kites too many time to number. I also have...

Get there early!!! I brought the kids around 10:30am and the parking attendant was already re-directing cars (in front of me) to turn around because the parking lot was FULL. By pure luck, I hear on...

Kites are cool no matter what. They're colorful, they remind me of childhood (even if not my own), and give an all around feeling of being free and fun. All that cheese. I was more excited about the...

Wow. I remember when I was a little kid, my dad and I used to go to the nearby park to fly a kite on a windy day. Back when life was simple, carefree, worry-free. Pretty much like a Country Time...

Kites were something that entertained me as a child but were put away with childish things as I grew older. How amazed I was to attend this event and see them flying in full glory. As soon as I saw...

Woke up late once again. Our plans were to come out before 10:00 am. We ended up leaving San Jose at 1:00 just in time to arrive for the candy drop. Traffic was pretty bad once we got into the...

5 Stars for the concept of a free kite festival, a sky full of colorful kites and fun for all ages. Zero stars for the logistical execution of parking, traffic directing, shuttles and signage. If...

Highline Kites has been fueling my kite habit for the past year. I've now spent more on maintenance than the kite cost to begin with! I think it's just the nature of the beast, not Highline's fault....
