SURFSIDE BEACH â If you see a giant cephalopod in the sky Saturday night, all lit up and its arms waving about, youâre not hallucinating. Itâs the third annual Nighttime Kite Fly-By.
âWe have a kite club in Surfside,â said Michelle Booth, Surfside Beach tourism specialist. âItâs called the Surfside Flyers Kite Club, and all their members come out and they put the big, giant, light-up LED kites in the sky and itâs amazing. It just lights up all of Surfside. Itâs really cool. Some of these kites are the length of a bus, a school bus, theyâre so big.â
