The Okoboji Winter Games Kite Festival was started in 2019 by Steve Boote with Eagle Construction. Over the last few years this giant kite festival has grown and expanded to become one of the largest kite festivals in the country.

We are excited to welcome professional fliers from all around the world to fly these giant colorful kites on the frozen waters of West Lake Okoboji. Kites range from 20-100 feet long. In 2022 we flew over 80 kites, and in 2023 we hope to have up to 120 kites flying at a time!
