Halloween Candlelight Concerts Are Coming To Charlotte
If you want to do something different this Halloween season, then I’ve got the perfect spooky date night idea for you – an intimate candlelight concert!
When you think of Halloween festivities you probably think of the normal things like pumpkin picking, haunted houses and corn mazes. Well, this year we’re doing something different! If you’ve never heard of a candlelight concert let me fill you in.
Earlier this year I took my fiance on a date night to a candlelight concert where the Charlotte Strings performed Taylor Swift songs all night. It was in a barrel room at a local brewery and the lights were off and only candles were lit. It was such a vibe. Thinking of them doing this for Halloween with classics such as Beetlejuice and Thriller makes me so excited to experience it.
If you want to experience it for yourself then you have a few options! Charlotte Strings will be performing Halloween-inspired music at The Barrel Room for three dates in October:
- Wednesday, October 11
- Thursday, October 12
- Wednesday, October 18
Here is the “setlist” for the night:
