Central Oregon Coast Kite Festival Attracts Monster Creations Published 05/30/2013 (Lincoln City, Oregon) – The kite will be king at the upcoming 29th Annual Summer Kite Festival in Lincoln City, on the central Oregon coast.

This year marks one of the final performances by Team iQuad, a key crowd pleaser for the event year after year. Team iQuad has been together since 2006 and has performed around the world entertaining with their unique synchronized kite flying routines set to music piloting quad line Revolution kites.
