As Spring Festival Season approaches, the City of Austin is reminding visitors to practice Leave No Trace principles to ensure that our parks, trails, and green spaces remain beautiful for years to come. This includes being considerate of other visitors, properly disposing of trash and food waste, and planning ahead for the weather.

When attending events, it’s important to stay on established trails and bring bags for pet waste to maintain cleanliness. For more tips on how to Leave No Trace, visit AustinTexas.gov/LeaveNoTrace.

To reduce congestion and environmental impact, park visitors are encouraged to park only in designated areas and use public or alternative transportation whenever possible. For information on transportation options, event maps, closures, and more about upcoming spring festivals, visit AustinTexas.gov/SpringFestivalATX.

By following these guidelines, we can all do our part to preserve Austin’s natural beauty and ensure a positive experience for everyone enjoying the Spring Festival Season.
