Bristol Hospice Kite Festival & Memorial Using kites as a memorial is a tradition found in many cultures — a symbolic, personal, and communal way to remember those we love.
Each year on the second Saturday in May, Bristol Hospice Hood River hosts the annual Kite Festival & Memorial. Against the stunning Hood River backdrop, colossal kites fill the sky as professional flyers showcase their artistry, creating a sight reminiscent of world-renowned kite festivals.
