The Austin Kite Festival has long been a colorful tradition in Austin, Texas since it began in 1929. This much-awaited yearly event was spearheaded by the The Exchange Club, which is volunteer group who undertake non-profit activities that would help child abuse victims.

As it is held in Zilker Park, Austin Kite Festival is also known as the Zilker Kite Festival. Yet, this year there is an encumbrance at Zilker Park because a construction is on-going in that area. It is announced that there are free parking in State Parking Garage E (1604 E. Colorado Street) and the Tony Burger Activity Center (3200 Jones Road). What's great too is that admission is absolutely free in the Austin Kite Festival.

Here is a video of last year's Austin Kite Festival. Remember to take note of the mass kite ascension which is spectacular:
