April 24th, 2009 Categories: About Charlotte, Things To Do Charlotte
Earth Day, Bark in the Park, More Fun in the Sun on the lakes
This is going to be a weekend to be outside in Charlotte, savoring the warm sunshine. You won’t be at a loss as to what to do, because there are festivals and outdoor activities planned to please every member of your family.
Family Activities
107.9 The Link’s Traveling Circus on Promenade at Providence provides plenty of fun for kids, with games, and giant trike races, and much more. Saturday from noon to 3PM.
This one is worth going inside for. Sunday from 2:30PM to 4PM Blumenthal Center’s Educational Institute and Lowe’s Home Improvement Stores team up for Building for Fun, where kids build fun projects like birdhouses and toolkits.
Art Festival Weekend
There are no fewer than three major arts festivals this weekend. Arts fest at CPCC has been going strong all week but will end with a bang – an all-day arts and music extravaganza on the campus of CPCC Saturday.
Those to the north of town should check out Davidson’s Arts on the Green, a juried art show on the beautiful campus, on both Saturday and Sunday. After the art show on Sunday is the first of the weekly Concerts on the Green. Bring a picnic and relax.
The Historic South End puts on Art and Soul of South End, its own popular arts festival. Artists will line the street, creating an art market for pedestrians.
Don’t Forget Fido
One of the most popular festivals this weekend is Bark at the Park, a festival for dogs and their human friends. It got so big that it moved to the Metrolina Expo this year. Whether your dog is a a pro at catching frisbees or just looks great in a costume, there will be activities for him to shine in. Plus plenty of delicious treats.
