The Streatham Common Kite Day is hoping for a strong wind on 1st April this year for their annual kite display, returning for its 14th year. Providing there's a good wind, a host of colourful kites will be soaring up to 1,000 feet over Streatham Common. You'll get to see the best kite demonstrators in the UK including Team Spectrum - a father and son team whose synchronized kite flying is choreographed to music - and Brighton Kite Fliers award winning kite fliers with large displays. Everyone is welcome to attend this free, family event where there's a pancake van and hog roast in addition to other refreshments. If you want to fly you can make your own or buy all kinds of colourful kites at a stall there - or, if you prefer, you can just gaze up at the high-flying entertainment.About Streatham Common
