An annual kite festival in Victoria won't fly this year.
The Victoria International Kite Festival Society is discontinuing the four-year-old event on the city's waterfront.
Former kite festival executive director John Vickers issued a news release saying the festival board told him they have not found a way to proceed with the weekend-long celebration that includes kite flying, kid's kite making and entertainment.
Vickers created the festival, one of three he developed in Victoria, but moved to Toronto last summer, leaving others to carry on his work.
