Let’s All Go Fly a Kite!
The McMillan Arts Centre is THE place to be this summer in beautiful Oceanside, BC. Located on McMillan Street, Parksville, BC, this 109 yr old historic building started life as the Parksville School, back in the day when McMillan Street and Memorial Avenue were the only two main streets in town. Now, ‘the MAC' as she is affectionally called, is owned and operated by the Oceanside Community Arts Council. The Upper Level features galleries, artisan gift shop, and teaching studio for workshops and classes.
This summer, we are featuring a must see historical exhibit, celebrating

Parkville’s annual KITEFEST event.
Due to Covid, many of this summer's festivals in Oceanside have been cancelled, so we decided to celebrate one of the most popular events in Oceanside, in our own arts way! We invite you to come and see the amazing, fun, colourful kites provided by KITEFEST coordinators with the BC Kitefliers Association, all ‘flying’ in our Concert Gallery and around the Arts Centre this summer!
Come and see the huge dragon! Come and see the amazing turtles and octopus! Come and explore the fascinating history of kites which date back to 600BC! See our KITEFEST information display about past events, images of the festival fun!
Fun for the whole family! Build your own kite to take down to the beach, just down the road from the MAC!
Entrance by suggested donation of $5/person, or $10/family. The MAC is open Tuesday - Sunday from 11am to 3pm. No appointment necessary.
