South Padre Island Indoor Kite Performances are back. That means it's time to head to South Padre Island and watch kite fliers from all across the country as they 'tie one on' for two fun-filled nights of amazing performances.
Mark your calendars for February 3 and 4. Each night will have its own unique theme. Monday night kicks off with 'A Tribute to the Screen' where the fliers will perform to music from their favorite big screen movies. Tuesday night will be filled with some 'Texas Skies and Island Vibes' featuring performances to a little country music, a little tropical/island music maybe mixed in with a tiny bit of that south Texas border feel.
The indoor lineup features an array of internationally known kite fliers. John Barresi holds thirty-one national championship titles and was the 2018 Open Individual Unlimited Ballet champion. John will be joined by the 2014 AKA National Indoor Champion, James Fletcher (Baltimore, MD) as well as many other talented indoor fliers – Mario Di Lucca (Victoria, British Columbia), Scott Weider (Long Beach, WA), Paul de Bakker (Oak Harbor, WA), Amy & Connor Doran (Seattle, WA), Marc Conklin (Midlothian, VA), Jim Cosca (Fort Washington, MD), Paul Lamasters (Germantown, MD), Brett Marchel (New Boston, MI), and for only his second appearance at a SPI Kite Festival – the 2022 Wildwoods International Indoor Champion – Adam Shutsky (Baltimore, MD). Also debuting for the first time at the SPI Kite Fest, the kite-flying duo Windfall comprising of John Barresi and Meshelle Sharples. These amazing indoor fliers will show off their kite flying talent as they hit the floor with their choreographed routines to a mix of their favorite songs.
