Cheer on the Knights

BB&T Ballpark | 7:04 p.m. | Schedule | $8+

The Charlotte Knights’ 7:04 p.m. games are a summer must-do, even if it means melting in the stands or on the hill while you enjoy $3 domestics and $5 crafts on Thirsty Thursday.

Zip around town on a scooter

Lime, Bird | Agenda Beginner Guide |$1 to unlock + $0.15 per minute 

Charlotte loves its dockless scooters, courtesy of Lime and Bird, and if you haven’t already, it’s time to jump on the bandwagon and find out what all the hype is about. Keep in mind that the city only has about 500 total, making them tricky to come by, and that scooters are to stay off of sidewalks.
