Besides our film and music festivals one of the coolest outdoor events in Austin is Annual Zilker Park Kite Festival that's held at Zilker Park in Central Austin the first weekend of March. This year, it's next Sunday on March 4th. I've been encouraging residents to go because it's one of the annual events that symbolizing what makes Austin unique.
I have attended the annual festival for at least the past three years. There's usually food, fun, face painting, jumping castles, and literally hundreds of CRAZY homemade kites. Kite contests include Highest Angle, Steadiest, Strongest Pulling, Smallest, Largest, and my favorite, Most Unusual. For the Most Unusual category, you may see a pirate ship, dragon, fruit, tugboat, or other odd-shaped kite. There will be lots of children and pets, so don't leave yours at home.
Keep track of their homepage in case there is rain or unfavorable weather. Zilker Kite Festival Home Page.
