Access to the “Registered Flyer Parking” area (marked on the map) from the parking lot to the beach area is CLOSED from 9am to 5pm starting the Sunday PRIOR to the first day of the Festival, continuing through to the last day of the Festival. If you need to leave, you can do so at the bottom of the approach, and out via the beach, up to the Cranberry approach.

DRIVING ON THE APPROACH IS ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED BY LAW BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 9AM -5PM.

Failure to follow this will lead to ticketing by the Long Beach Police Dept., and or ejection from the event .

Flyers are allowed to line up where the sand meets the asphalt starting at 4:45 pm. At 5pm, when they are released, the first car will be guided up the approach by a golf cart. Please be aware that there will still be people on the approach, follow in a single file fashion, and go SLOW!

Friday & Saturday Night Kite Flights:

If you leave the beach at 5pm, you will not be able to drive back down to the beach for the evening events. Please plan accordingly. If you leave, and want to come back, you will need to park in the upper parking lot, just opposite the Merchandise Booth. Parking for the evening events is free .

As a gentle reminder, please be kind and patient with all of the event staff, volunteers, law enforcement, and parking attendants. We all are working very hard to make a great event for all, and thank you for visiting us! Fair Winds to All!
