The Mission of the Dixie Escalante Kite Festival is four fold:

1. Provide a wholesome, uplifting, family-oriented event where everyone can participate regardless of experience, training, financial means or physical abilities.

2. Promote reading as a fundamental basis of education for every child of elementary school age.

3. Support education with additional funding and make that funding available to selected participating schools at the discretion of the Washington County School Foundation.

4. Patronize those members of the business community whose financial sponsorship make the Kite Festival possible.
