Kyle, like many of the suburbs surrounding Austin, is experiencing rapid growth and is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas. Anywhere that deserves to be called the cake capital of Texas is better off delivering the merchandise, and that's exactly what Kyle does. The Management and Training Corporation operates the Kyle Unit, a men's prison in Kyle, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. If you're in Kyle between April and October, try local dishes, shop at the city's vendors and watch some of the area's best talent perform during the Kyle Market Days.
The event includes massive morning hot air balloon rides, in which balloons take off at dawn and fly over Kyle on Saturday and Sunday morning, as well as “glow” at night, where tethered hot air balloons twinkle against the night sky on Lake Kyle.
