Great American Kites & Events

July 5th

Join us on Saturday, July 5, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Farmamerica – The Minnesota Agricultural Interpretive Center, located at 7367 360th Ave, Waseca, MN, for an unforgettable day of high-flying fun with Great American Kites & Events.

This year’s event will feature the awe-inspiring “Old Glory”, the world’s largest American flag kite, weighing nearly 600 lbs. Weather permitting, you’ll witness this colossal symbol of freedom soaring gracefully above the Minnesota landscape.

Farmamerica offers a unique opportunity to explore Minnesota’s rich agricultural heritage. Wander through over two centuries of history on a one-mile paved walking path, visiting more than 20 historic structures, including two farmsteads, a one-room schoolhouse, a country church, and a blacksmith shop. Connect with nature in the native prairie and gardens, and meet live farm animals along the way.

Don’t miss this chance to experience the magic of giant kites and delve into the state’s farming legacy. Mark your calendars for a day of family-friendly entertainment and education.
