The Washington State International Kite Festival brings competitive flyers from around the world to Long Beach for its 45th year, turning the beach into a sky full of elaborate kites battling it out. It's free, family-friendly, and a genuinely odd thing to watch if you've never seen serious kite fighting before. Head out on Saturday, August 1st if you want to see what international kite pilots actually do when they're not working regular jobs.
