It's a long holiday weekend in Charlotte, and we have definitely earned this one! Summer sure has felt like it has gone on forever with this heat! While the heat will not be letting up this weekend, many people consider it the unofficial, "last weekend of Summer." With a title like that, you know people are looking for fun stuff to do.

Here are some of my top picks of different events going on around the Charlotte area this Labor Day weekend!

Best Wurst Fest

Old Meck is giving you a bratwurst festival to end the Summer! Join them on Saturday and Sunday for beer, food, and you can compete in their Sausage Toss Game!

Twenty One Pilots - THE ICY TOUR

On Sunday night, Twenty One Pilots are bringing their tour to the Spectrum Center! This group always puts on a great show, so I know the city will be buzzing!

Around the Crown 10K

277 will be closed on Sunday morning as hundreds of runners will be taking over the highway! The race starts and finishes at Truist Field! Runners will get a once in a lifetime opportunity to run the entirety of Charlotte’s 3 mile major inner loop, I-277. The race starts at 7:30am on Sunday so if you have somewhere to be, be aware there will be some road closures! 

September Front Porch Sundays

September Front Porch Sundays are back! Head down to South End on Sunday, starting at 11:30, and enjoy 70+ local pop-ups, live music, interactive fun, cold beer, good coffee, and more!

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.
