Kites for Peace – A Human Rights and Friendship Kite-Flying Event
2026-07-30 17:00 - 21:00 | St. Lawrence Park, 525 King St W,, Brockville
When: July 30th from 5-9pmWhat: Kite making and flying, potluck/picnic, multifaith gathering with musicWho: Brockville Peace Collective and FriendsWhere: St. Lawrence Park, Brockville, OntarioWhat to bring: A kite or kite making materials, a picnic or food to share for the potluck, a chair/blanket

The Brockville Peace Collective and Friends invite you to an evening of friendship and fun on Thursday July 30th from 5-9pm!
This event celebrates the 15th anniversary of the United Nations International Day of Friendship. Established in July 2011, this day encourages friendship, understanding, and peace among people and cultures around the world.

Our event is also inspired by the great achievement of the Palestinian children of Gaza, who in July 2011, set a Guinness World Record for flying 12,350 kites at once. Kites have since evolved into an international symbol of human rights, peace, resilience and the dreams of children everywhere.

Both of these events remind us to come together, in community, and celebrate the peace and friendship we enjoy, while also advocating for everyone across the world to enjoy the same rights and privileges.

The evening will begin with kite making and flying at 5pm. Kites will be flown at 5:30pm and kite flying will be followed by a potluck meal. Participants are asked to bring their own picnic lunch and/or a potluck dish to share.

A multi-faith gathering will follow with music and inspirational readings and words from peace and faith leaders.

Join the Brockville Peace Collective on a day of celebration, remembrance, unity, peace, and friendship.

Everyone is very welcome!!
