Free Family Fun: Dripping Springs' 2nd Annual Kite Fest Is April 11
Spring is peak kite weather in the Hill Country. The City of Dripping Springs is making it official.
The 2nd Annual Kite Fest returns to Founders Memorial Park on Saturday, April 11, from 10 AM to noon — and it is completely free for all ages.
What to Expect
This is a low-key, city-hosted event built around the simple pleasure of watching things fly.
Bring your own kite and join the action, or come with nothing and just enjoy the morning — families, kids of all ages, and anyone looking for an easy spring outing are welcome.
Founders Memorial Park (419B Founders Park Rd) sits close to downtown Dripping Springs and offers wide-open green space, good natural light, and on a spring morning, the kind of breeze that makes flying a kite effortless.
Practical Details
- Date: Saturday, April 11
- Time: 10 AM to 12 PM
- Location: Founders Memorial Park, 419B Founders Park Rd, Dripping Springs
- Cost: Free, all ages
- What to bring: A kite if you have one — not required to enjoy the event
Why It Is Worth Going
It is free. It is two hours. It is outdoors in April in the Hill Country, which is about as good as weather gets before summer settles in.
The inaugural Kite Fest last year drew families from across the 78620 and 78737 area and showed there is a real appetite for simple, well-organized outdoor events in Dripping Springs. Year two should bring a bigger crowd.
A Busy Spring Ahead
With Founders Day (April 24 to 26) just two weeks later, Kite Fest lands right in the middle of what is shaping up to be the most active spring stretch on the Dripping Springs community calendar.
If you are looking for a reason to get outside on a Saturday morning before summer turns the Hill Country into a sauna, this is it. Pack a picnic, grab a kite, and head to Founders Memorial Park.
Why It Matters
City-hosted free events like this are part of what makes Dripping Springs feel like a community rather than just a stretch of highway. The Kite Fest is small, but it is the kind of thing that builds neighborhood roots — the same instinct behind Founders Day and the weekly Farmers Market. Worth showing up for.
