Last year, the kite festival took place across the sprawling park system that winds throughout Austin, to encourage social distancing. Zilker Park has always been the epicenter of the festival, though, so we&#8217;re excited to see the sky above the spacious lawn dotted with a colorful array of soaring kites once again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cpu4I7vOkJY\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
