Take Flight Kids Dash

Take Flight Kids Dash Returns to Winterfest 2027! Ready for takeoff! Downtown Perrysburg, Inc. is excited to bring back the Take Flight Kids Dash, a free Winterfest favorite for children ages 2–10.

Inspired by Perrysburg’s iconic airplane sculpture, this fun-filled dash is all about imagination, movement, and having fun. It’s not about who crosses the finish line first! It’s a great way for little ones to burn off some energy while enjoying all the winter fun at Winterfest.

The dash will take place on Saturday, January 23, 2027, at 2:00 p.m. on E. Second Street between Louisiana and Elm streets. The road will close at 1:30 p.m. Look for the Dave’s Running arch, where young flyers can gather and stretch before takeoff. Children will be divided into age groups, with the youngest participants going first.

Every participant will receive an airplane kit to build and enjoy, giving them a fun way to keep the spirit of Take Flight going long after the dash is over.

Pre-registration is required for all participants.

A special thank-you to Dave’s Running for sponsoring the Take Flight Kids Dash and for being a longtime supporter of Downtown Perrysburg, Inc.

We can’t wait to see our youngest Winterfest visitors ready to spread their wings and take flight!
