About

Now in its 97th year and back home in Zilker Park, the 2025 ABC Kite Fest continues its mission of fostering childhood creativity. The can’t-miss festival brings Austinites together to fly colorful kites, try delicious bites from Austin’s local food scene, and enjoy a children’s concert and pet-friendly activities. The ABC Kite Fest invites people of all ages to spend a beautiful day with loved ones in the great outdoors.

Experience MossFest, a children's concert from 10am-1pm, check out a few of the community kite contests like "Highest Angle Kite" and "Most Unusual Kite", or let the kids get their energy out at the Kids Club with free bounce houses and activities to keep them engaged throughout the festival. While you're enjoying Kite Fest try a few of Austin's best bites like Amy’s Ice Creams, JP’s Pancake Company and Lupe Tortilla.

Explore your parking options early whether you park onsite, a remote lot and take the shuttle or use public transporation through Capital Metro. For more detail on parking and to purchase passes or shuttle tickets, visit the parking webpage.
