Flint Hills Sky Fest

For the first time ever in the Flint Hills region, the skies above Manhattan will come alive with one of the most spectacular family events of the spring.
Join us for the Flint Hills Sky Festival at A&H Farm, where Great American Kites will bring some of America’s largest and most breathtaking kites to soar high above the beautiful countryside in the heart of the Flint Hills.
This two-day sky spectacle will transform the open Kansas prairie into a colorful aerial show that you truly have to see to believe.
Located just outside Manhattan, Kansas — home of Kansas State University — A&H Farm is one of the region’s most beloved destinations for family fun and outdoor agri-tourism experiences. With scenic farmland, wide open skies, and a welcoming atmosphere, the farm provides the perfect backdrop for a weekend of unforgettable memories.
And this year, the sky will feature something truly extraordinary…
🇺🇸 Old Glory – The 600-Pound Giant American Flag Kite. One of the most awe-inspiring sights of the festival will be Old Glory, the massive American flag kite flown by Great American Kites. Weighing nearly 600 pounds, this enormous red, white, and blue flying tribute to America rises high above the fields in a powerful and inspiring display of freedom, patriotism, and engineering.
Watching Old Glory lift into the Kansas sky is something you simply have to see in person.
