Fire up the group text and start blocking off your calendars because Charlotte’s weekends are about to get busy.
Spring festival season is just about here and if the weather this past weekend is any indication, we’re in for a treat with the city’s outdoor events.
You’ll find something for everyone with events centered on everything from vegan food, barbecue, beer, wine and burgers to yoga, film, heavy metal, art, dogs (the four-legged kind) and more.
So long, winter.
