Annual Kite Festival
Every year half a million people use the grounds of El Morro for picnics, sports and other activities.  The National Park Service’s mission of preservation is challenged by damaging behavior of leaving literally tons of abandoned kites and food leftovers littering the historic grounds and walls. Through this event the NPS hopes to share and promote environmentally friendly ways to enjoy the park.
