The 76th annual Zilker Kite Festival kicks off on Sunday, March 7, 2004 at 11:00 a.m.. Only homemade kites can compete in the longest, continuously running kite contest in America.
In addition to the competitions, you can take part in kite-making workshops, watch stunt kite demonstrations, and view exhibits by the Austin Police and Fire Department, Austin Energy, and stunt kite demonstrations.
Don’t want to compete but would like to fly a kite? A Mass Ascent takes place at the end of day on Sunday. Any type of kite (including store-bought) can be flown in a massive launching.
