BCFA Chinese Kite Flying Festival 2026

The2026 BCFA Chinese Kite Flying festival will feature traditional Chinese kite flying, Bahamian and Chinese food, children’s games and activities, a bouncing castle, music and entertainment, prizes, cultural activities and other family-oriented attractions. The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in The Bahamas will once again be an integral partner in supporting the cultural aspects of the festival.   The purpose of the event is not only to expose Bahamians to an important aspect of Chinese culture, but also to create an enjoyable outdoor environment where children, parents and grandparents can spend meaningful time together as families. Alhough the festival is expanding to the general public, we remain firmly committed to the children and young people who inspired this initiative.  Young people from children’s homes, Urban Renewal programs, youth cadet programs and other youth and community organizations will once again attend as special invited guests of the BCFA. We intend to provide these young people with kites, food, refreshments and access to the festival activities so that they can fully enjoy the experience.   This is where the involvement of Rotary volunteers has been particularly meaningful.  We therefore respectfully request that the Rotary Club of Nassau once again provide volunteers to assist us during the festival, particularly with assembling traditional Chinese kites, teaching and assisting children with kite flying, interacting with our invited youth, supporting children’s activities, and providing general volunteer assistance throughout the event.  Given the larger scale of this year’s festival, we would welcome as many Rotary Club of Nassau volunteers as the Club considers practical. That interaction is about much more than flying a kite. It represents service, mentorship, encouragement and community.  It also reflects Rotary’s longstanding commitment to service and complements the BCFA’s mission of building bridges of friendship and understanding—not only between The Bahamas and the People’s Republic of China, but also among people within our own community.  We would therefore be honored to have the Rotary Club of Nassau join us once again at Clifford Park on November 21st. The BCFA will provide participating volunteers with food and refreshments, and our team will coordinate with your designated representative regarding volunteer assignments, arrival times and other logistical arrangements.  Please feel free to contact us at 242-801-8134 or info@bcfa242.org to coordinate the Club’s participation. Thank you again for your friendship and continued support of BCFA.
