Kyle, Texas, seeks to break the Guinness Book of World Records this fall and needs your help at the inaugural “Pie in the Sky Festival.” Per chance, are you named Kyle or Kylie?

The City of Kyle is attempting to break a world record during a festival over Labor Day Weekend by organizing a festival to commemorate a celebration of all things “Kyle,” including all things pie-related in its quest to claim the title “Pie Capital of Texas.”

The “Pie in the Sky Festival” will include live music and hot air balloons on September 1-2, located at Lake Kyle. The balloon festival is the monumental event where the city hopes to attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the most people named Kyle in one place.

According to the City of Kyle, you can register to participate here where the participants will check in at the designated location and gather for mass participation photo. You can look forward to a variety of pie-themed activities, hot air balloon launch, then to follow a “glow” in the evening. The hot balloon festival will feature 25 hot air balloons from all over Texas.
