MATTHEWS ALIVE LABOR DAY WEEKEND FESTIVAL 2022


Labor Day Weekend 2022 is just a few days away and if you've lived in the Charlotte area for any period of time, you know it's almost time for the annual Matthews Alive Festival, which is back after a several year hiatus due to the pandemic.  

 

Starting Friday, September 2nd through Labor Day, September 5th, you'll not only have a ton of  fun at the Matthews Alive Festival, you'll be helping the Town of Matthews contribute to local non-profit organizations. 100% of the proceeds from the festival go to local non-profits,  living up to the festival's "motto" of: "good times funding good works."

 

Matthews Alive is true Labor Day Weekend tradition in the Greater Charlotte  area since 1992. $1.9+ million have been contributed to the local community by the Town of Matthews from funds raised by this festival since 1992. As many as 150,000 people have attended in past years.

 

What can Matthews Alive Festival visitors expect to find at the festival?

  • Small Shops Pavilion with 160 arts and crafts vendors
  • 30+ food vendors at the Food Court.
  • Labor Day Parade (the largest Labor Day Parade in the Southeast) on Saturday, September 3rd at 9:30 am. The parade lasts about 1-1/2 hours.
  • Tons of games and rides for kids and adults alike
  • An Artist Guild Art Show
  • Main Stage in Stumptown Park, featuring a variety of music throughout the event, from beach, to country, to classic rock, and everything in between.

Good morning, Nina.
I can't believe it's almost Labor Day Weekend again already. It looks like there'll be plenty of entertainment in Matthews. I haven't even checked to see what's going on in my local area yet.

Joan Cox hi Joan... normally a very well attended festival. In past years, 150,000+ people attended over the four days. Hopefully, after a hiatus since 2019 due to covid, we'll see the return of most of these people.

Hello Nina,

This caught my eye as my son and his family moved to Matthews this last April.  I just reached out to see if they know about this and they plan to attend.  We drove their second car out there when they moved, what a beautiful town it is.  Will need to get back out there to visit again soon.    Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
