The ABC Kite Fest, one of Austin’s most cherished traditions, recently announced details for this year’s event, returning to Zilker Park on Sunday, March 4. Festivalgoers will witness thousands of kites soaring along the city skyline while enjoying local eats and drinks, a kite showcase and contest, a children’s concert and the festival’s first-ever fun run.
The historic event usually welcomes more than 35,000 attendees annually and features free, all-day entertainment for the whole family.
Founded in 1929 by The Exchange Club of Austin as a contest to foster creativity in children, the ABC Kite Fest is now the longest-running festival of its kind, underwritten by ABC Home & Commercial Services and produced by the Friends of the ABC Kite Fest, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Proceeds from the ABC Kite Fest benefit Communities in Schools of Central Texas and the Moss Pieratt Foundation.
