Catching Up With Cameron: Things To Do In Charlotte This Weekend (1.6.23-1.8.23)

Happy New Year!

A new year, means new opportunities to get out there and check out some of the fun things going on around Charlotte this weekend.

It's been a minute since I posted one of these. I'll be honest, I was just trying to make it through the holidays so apologies for the lack of inspiration for your weekends. But, it's a new year, and I'm back to help you plan your entire weekend.

I, like many people, am participating in dry January. I've done dry months before and what I realized is that you need to make plans to make sure your weekends are fun. That sounds bad, but on a typical weekend, I'll just meet friends out at a bar, so without that option, it's time to make some alternative plans.

If you are looking for some fun stuff to do this weekend, here are my top picks of things to do this weekend in Charlotte.
