AUSTIN (KXAN) — This weekend is the start to a busy month and eventually spring. Take note of what events will be closing roads you’ll want to be planning around.

With up to an inch of rain anticipated this weekend, the Austin Parks & Recreation Department says they are proactively closing the general attendance public on-site parking for the ABC Kite Fest. The closure, however, does not affect planned parking for the breakfast and fun run for credentialed attendees.

Festival organizers say they fully believe the festival will go ahead as planned Sunday. If for some reason the festival is completely rained out, organizers have said the event would be moved to March 12.
