If you’re looking for a way to kick back and enjoy Labor Day weekend, the City of Kyle has just the thing — a kid-friendly, pie-focused hot air balloon festival! This exciting event is taking place just south of Austin at Lake Kyle Park on Friday, August 30 through Sunday, September 1.

At the Kyle Pie in the Sky Hot Air Balloon Festival, over 20 hot air balloons will illuminate the sky with a balloon glow on Friday and Saturday evenings and will float over the Kyle sky on Saturday and Sunday mornings. (Of course, all events are weather permitting.)

Did you know that Kyle is known as the “Pie Capital of Texas”? You’ll be sure to get your fill of delicious pies at the event! Pie festivities will include a Pie Cafe tent, pie baking contest, pie eating contests, pie vendors (sweet and savory), and more.

You’ll also be able to enjoy a great live music line-up, market vendors of all kinds, a kids play area, and other entertainment. Click here for the full schedule of events.
