Texans celebrate the spring by flying every kind of kite imaginable and we’re doing it on March 7, 2004. The Zilker Park Kite Festival is a 76 year young single line competition. There is no admission or registration charge. The 2003 festival drew well over 10,000 participants. Everyone is welcome whether they fly their kite or just to see the hundreds of kites in the air. Categories include largest, smallest, highest angle, steadiest, most unusual and strongest pulling. All ages are eligible to compete in categories for youth and adults. Handsome trophies are awarded to first, second and third place winners. The Oldest and youngest competitors win trophies too. All kites entered must be home made. Proceeds from vendors sales go to help local kids in crisis. Come on down and enjoy an event that is uniquely "Austintatious". While you are here, enjoy the SXSW music festival and other spectacular spring happenings in the area.
