Austin Kite Festival
Spring is in the air and one of Austin’s favorite spring events is scheduled for the weekend. Everyone is welcome (even pets) to come fly their favorite kite at Zilker Park. The nations oldest continuous kite festival is at Zilker Park this Sunday, March 2, 2014 (as predicted delayed to March 9, 2014 due to rain). The kite festival was started in 1929 by The Exchange Club to help foster creativity in children.
Parking is extremely limited for this popular event so please plan on taking the shuttle bus.
The festival is presented each year by the Exchange Club of Austin, an all-volunteer organization dedicated to the prevention of child abuse. Exchange is a group of people working to make America a better place to live through one national project, the Prevention of Child Abuse, and other community service projects.
