What are the Kite Festival rules?
Glad you asked!
* Be considerate of other kite fliers.
* Do not use the kind of string that has the capability of cutting other kite strings. See the above rule.
* Don't bring anything to the Festival that puts others in danger. There's little kids and puppies there!
* Bring bags to dispose of doggie wastes in appropriate trash bins
* Don't fly kites in the street or near power lines
* Help us be green, deposit your trash and recyclables in the appropriate containers
Are there other kids activities besides kite flying?
Yes! Moon walks, rock wall climbing, face painting, go fish - a lot of fun activities are offered for kids of all ages.
What if it rains?
Bad weather does happen. We have a rain date of one week later, same place, same time, same schedule.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, the Kite Festival is famous for being canine friendly. Please bring your pet on a leash to insure the safety of everyone. Break out your dog's favorite t-shirt, this is the place for well dressed dogs. Also, please be considerate of others and the environment - pick up after your dog.
Can I Bring a Picnic?
Yes, but no glass containers please. We encourage you to create a picnic by purchasing the delicious foods offered at the event. A percentage of each sale goes to help children in Central Texas.
