The city of Austin ushers in spring with its annual ABC Zilker Kite Festival, which returns to Zilker Park on Sunday, March 6.
Presented by the Exchange Club and the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department, the festival promises a beautiful, vibrant sight of hundreds of kites flying through the sky. There is no fee to participate (or watch!) and those looking to take part in the kite flying just need to simply bring a handmade kite (yes, handmade) to the festival and register on the day of the event. Participants will compete in a variety of categories, including smallest, largest, and most unusual kite.
In typical festival fashion, the Zilker Kite Festival also is set to have a variety of local vendors selling items and offering food. The festival booths open at 10 a.m. and the kite contest starts at 1 p.m. The festival runs until 5 p.m.
Are you planning to attend? After all, it's just a short trip from Lamar Union!
