Due to inclement weather, Zilker Kite Fest has been canceled for March 9, 2014. There will be no other rain date.

On Sunday, March 9, 2014, the nation’s oldest kite festival will attract upwards of 20,000 visitors to Zilker Park to welcome spring with wide-open fields full of kites and happy campers. The 86th Zilker Park Kite Festival, one of the most famous annual city events put on by The Exchange Club of Austin, will include kite flying, contests, food, games and more. Attendance is free for people of all ages. The festival encourages anyone to come out and compete against fellow kite flyers or to simply spend a beautiful day in the park with their pets, their friends and their family.
