CowParade, the largest and most recognized public art event in the world, is coming to Austin.

One hundred lifesize fiberglass cows designed by Austin artists will be presented to the gathering audience on the veranda overlooking the Austin skyline.

Afterward, the cows will be displayed throughout the city until mid-October when they will be auctioned live at the Driskill Hotel. All proceeds will go to Dell Children's Medical Center's Superhero Kids Fund.
