When people say “touch grass,” it can sometimes be taken as an insult, but the act of actually going to a park and touching grass instantly makes you feel better. Access to green spaces allows you to ground yourself in the city. The kite festival creates an interesting dynamic, with the kites floating above us and the grounding sensation of touching grass below. This combination brings a sense of calm and connection.
