This Thanksgiving weekend, ditch the leftovers and bring the whole crew! As the air fills with that festive, post-holiday glow, Las Vegas invites you to look up and let your hearts take flight. The first-ever Las Vegas World Kite Festival is coming in full force! Experience two unforgettable days on November 28 and 29 filled with world-class entertainment, soaring creativity, and pure family fun under the stunning Nevada sky.

This year’s event transforms the Desert Breeze Events Center into a massive, vibrant playground celebrating connection. In a nod to Las Vegas as the world's original wedding capital, the festival is themed around "Love Takes Flight." Whether you’re on a romantic getaway or making memories with the family, the grounds will be filled with interactive photo zones and romantic art installations, creating the perfect backdrop to capture the moment your own love takes flight.

During the day, the action is non-stop. The main event features World-Class Kite Performances, as international teams paint the sky with synchronized aerial ballets and massive sculptural kites. Back on the ground, the celebration continues. The Kids' Zone will be a blast for little ones, featuring kite-making workshops and games to inspire creativity. Meanwhile, everyone can enjoy Beats & Bites, digging into incredible eats from a lineup of food trucks, browsing a global craft market for unique holiday gifts, and enjoying live music all day.

As the sun dips, the magic hits its peak. Witness the Spectacular Night Glow Kite Show featuring a breathtaking 100-meter illuminated dragon kite rising into the desert night. It’s a glowing symphony of light and romance, a truly unforgettable Vegas moment where imagination, wonder, and love truly take flight!
