Cost: Free

What to expect: Two days of kite-flying fun in Veterans Park on Milwaukee's lakefront. We're talking top teams from around the world (Chicago, Seattle, Puerto Rico, Montreal), plus unusual kites like a 75-food teddy bear kite and stunt routines as well.

Why to go: Free kites...for the first 100 kids that participate in the Kids Mad Dash. There will also be free kite flying lessons and kites and food will be available for sale.
