Catching Up With Cameron: Things To Do In Charlotte This Weekend (3.26-3.28)
Early this week, Governor Cooper announced that this Friday, even more of the COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted in the state of North Carolina. You know what that means; as more things begin to open up, there will be more and more events starting to pop up, and I for one, am very excited about it.
There is a chance for rain pretty much all weekend in the Charlotte area, but we’re not letting that kill our vibe. Here is a list of all the events, both in public, and online, that are happening around Charlotte this weekend.

Hi, I'm Cameron! I was born and raised in North Carolina. I'm a super tall redhead who is always down for tacos, enchiladas, and margaritas. Okay, so Mexican food is my personal favorite, but I’m not saying no if you’re trying to eat out on the town anywhere. I I am on air for middays but also the Program Director for Kiss 95.1. I enjoy connecting with Kiss 95.1’s amazing listeners and being able to bring all of my favorite things like food, wine, and life online into digital content.
