Kite Flying at Regent Village 2025 – A Beautiful Easter Tradition Takes Flight

Every year, Regent Village comes alive with color, laughter, and the sound of excitement as families gather for the St. Charles Kite Flying Competition. What was once a beloved tradition from the 60s and 70s has now been beautifully revived, reminding all of us of the joy and creativity that kite flying brings to our community.

This year’s 2025 celebration was no different. Children, parents, elders, and visitors filled the open field, each person bringing their own sense of pride and nostalgia to the event. From homemade bamboo-framed kites to bright colorful designs dancing in the sky, the atmosphere felt both timeless and new. It was one of those days where you couldn’t help but smile.

One of the highlights of the event was watching contestants of all ages pour their passion into the competition. After a fun-filled day of friendly rivalry and impressive kite craftsmanship, we proudly celebrated this year’s winners:
