Austin skies turn into a moving gallery at ABC Kite Fest, a long-running spring gathering in Zilker Park. Families bring kites of every size, from classic diamonds to elaborate flying sculptures, then spread out for music, hands-on activities, food, and plenty of room to watch the color overhead. It is an easygoing Austin tradition built for a picnic blanket, a breezy afternoon, and a little friendly kite-flying competition.
