The Rockaway Beach Kite Festival is one of Oregon’s longest-running coastal traditions, now approaching its 50th year of color, creativity, and community connection. Each September, thousands of families, kite enthusiasts, and visitors gather on our oceanfront to experience three days of soaring kites, live entertainment, kid-friendly activities, and the welcoming spirit that makes Rockaway Beach truly unforgettable.
What many people don’t see behind the scenes is that the entire festival is coordinated by the RBCC, a 100% volunteer-operated organization. Our board, event leads, and community helpers donate hundreds of hours each year to bring this beloved event to life. Sponsorships are not just appreciated; they are essential.
Your support directly funds the core elements that keep the festival free and accessible for the public.
By becoming a sponsor, you are investing in a tradition that strengthens our local economy, uplifts small businesses, and creates lifelong memories for residents and visitors alike. Most importantly, you are fueling the work of dedicated volunteers who make the magic happen, ensuring this cherished festival continues soaring for generations to come.
Together, we can keep Rockaway Beach’s skies full of color, creativity, and community pride. Thank you for considering a sponsorship and supporting one of the coast’s most iconic celebrations.

Check-in
Please print a copy of your registration for check-in. It will also display the package you selected and expedite your setup process. Please do not arrive before 8:30 on Friday morning unless otherwise coordinated with the Chamber; otherwise, you will be asked to leave and return once setup time has begun.
Friday check-in for 20 x 20 tents and larger begins at 8:30 AM. For 10 x 10 single spots, check-in begins at 9:00 AM. If you arrive before your scheduled time, you will need to wait until your scheduled time.
If you are loading or unloading at the Wayside on Friday, it must be before 12 p.m. or after 6 p.m., unless otherwise agreed with a Chamber board member.
Saturday, you must be set up before 10 a.m. and pack up after 6 p.m.
Sunday must be before 10 a.m. and pack up after 12 p.m./2 p.m.
All vehicles must be out of the Wayside during event hours.
When you arrive, please locate the Chamber volunteers on duty for directions to your spot. Please remember to be respectful of neighboring vendors and the volunteers on duty. Your tent legs may sit next to your neighbor's. Please discuss with them first before attaching them together for the weigh-down.
We will do our best to accommodate special vendor placement requests, but we cannot promise.
Please remember that vendors are asked to park their vehicles in the Anchor Street public parking lot by City Hall to maintain nearby parking for patrons.
If you are unable to attend for any reason, please contact us as soon as possible.
If you are selling food items, please contact us at this email address before registering to ensure we can meet your power/electric requirements. If you are concerned that you may have an item or food that is commonly sold, please email us to ask.
Pay online by E-Check or with PayPal. Your spot is not held until your payment has cleared, and it is unfair to other vendors and unkind to the volunteer to expect this to be handled at the last minute.
Each vendor may be asked to provide an item or a couple of meals (at an average cost of $20) to be auctioned during the event. Likewise, your names will be entered in the drawing so you may win as well! Remember to print your Confirmation/Registration so that it is easier to get you in your spot!
