Ogunquit Beach sparkled on Saturday under brilliant blue skies, the perfect backdrop for the Capriccio Festival of Kites.
Supplies for making kites were provided before the mass ascension at noon. Kite clubs also hit the beach with colorful flying creations. Prizes were awarded to the younger kite fliers.
