The ABC Kite Fest is Austin’s free, family-friendly spring kite festival at Zilker Park. The next edition isSaturday, April 10, 2027, 10:00–17:00入場是免費的。
Since 1929 — founded by the Exchange Club of Austin as a kite contest to keep children active — it has grown into the longest-running festival of its kind in the nation. It moved from Lamar Park (near today’s Congress Ave & E Cesar Chavez St) to Zilker Park in 1936, becoming the park’s first festival. Today it is supported by ABC Home and Commercial Services and the Friends of the ABC Kite Fest nonprofit (Friends of the ABC Zilker Park Kite Festival Inc., c/o ABC Home & Commercial Services, 9475 U.S. 290, Austin, TX 78724).
