Catching Up With Cameron: Things To Do In Charlotte This Weekend (3.3-3.5)

It’s the first weekend of March! I can’t believe we’re already this far into the year. It feels like just yesterday, stores were stocked with jammies, and hoodies, and now I’m seeing bathing suits everywhere.

Spring break for colleges are starting, and while some people will spend theirs traveling, others are probably looking for fun stuff to do in town.

Luckily, in Charlotte there is a lot to do in the Spring. And with the weather being so beautiful the last few weeks, many people are getting excited for Spring.

Here are my top picks of things to do in Charlotte this weekend.

  This 90’s movie marathons are continuing at Camp North End. Grab a chair or blanket to watch “Wayne’s World” this Friday during this winter movie series. These movies are free to attend, and start at 7:30pm.
