This Saturday, May 6, is Castles & Kites, a spring tradition of kite-flying and sand-sculpting at Doran Beach. Fly your own kite or watch the colorful show in the sky. See stunt demos and browse kites for sale. Build a castle with free tools and molds or admire the creativity of other sand artists.
