Top 10 Local Memorial Day Events (Charlotte, NC)

 Proud to be an American

As always, Charlotte has access to so many great amenities, from our area Lakes to Carowinds, from the White Water Center to a multitude of local food and drink destinations.


We hope you’ll find something to fit your budget or social calendar for Memorial Day weekend. 

 

 

Here are 10 things we recommend checking out over Memorial Day Weekend in Charlotte:

 

Saturday May 27

 

  • Tour De Fat  (4pm-9pm) A host of musicians, circus performers, vaudeville acts, magicians, comedians and more. Costumes are strongly encouraged! Tour de Fat Charlotte benefits Bike Walk NC.

  • Thinking of spending some time at the lake this weekend? There are plenty of public access points all around the Charlotte Metro region:
    • Ramsey Creek Park (Lake Norman, Cornelius)
