People know Austin, Texas, for its huge music festivals, car racing events, and the Austin film festival. However, these are not the only fun annual events in Austin. There are also a lot of small, low-key events that you don’t want to miss out on.

In fact, Austin has a lot of relaxed, slow-paced events to go along with the more well-known events. There are food and wine festivals, a kite festival, a Christmas bazaar, a book festival, and our medical negligence lawyers love to go to the hot sauce festival.

A favorite for some of our Austin medical negligence lawyers, anyone who loves spicy food should check out the Austin hot sauce festival, which more than 15000 people attend every year. There are hundreds of different kinds of hot sauce to try at each festival.

You will likely leave the festival with a new favorite kind of hot sauce. There is also plenty of delicious food, lots of people to meet, and live music. Many different bands play music of many different genres at the festival. While the festival is free, it is a charity event, so you are encouraged to bring some canned food with you to donate.

The Zilker kite festival is great fun for all ages. Many people make their own kites rather than buy them, and there are hundreds of kites in the air at once. The festival is held every year at Zilker’s great lawn.

There is a kite contest for the kids, where they compete over who’s kite is the strongest, which is the most unusual, and which flies at the highest angle. There are refreshment stands all around the edges of the park.

There is also a children’s concert at the kite festival, known as Mossfest. Your kids will love the live bands that play every year. The kite festival is held every spring, with the next one on March 27-28, 2022.
