Family Kite Building on October 20

FAMILY KITE BUILDING
Saturday October 20
10 to 1

The flying of large colorful kites has been part of Guatemalan cultural traditions since the pre-Colombian era.
Originally, the colorful kites represented the union of the underworld and the land of the living and honored departed ancestors.
Today the kites are used to promote feelings of peace and companionship for the living.
Create a kite to honor your ancestors.
