The COVID-19 pandemic has presented immediate challenges to businesses in Charlotte and the nation. During this time, we encourage you to interact, shop and support our neighbors from the safety and comfort of your own homes.

Charlotte’s parks, greenways and urban trails offer wide open natural spaces to enjoy the fresh air and the company of a friend – from a distance.

In these rapidly evolving times, locally owned and hospitality-centric businesses often get hit the hardest.

There’s no need to leave your furry friend behind during patio season. These watering holes invite owners to lap up local suds with their pups in tow.

Whether it’s making a trip to Trader Joe’s or exploring the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, Midtown is always bustling with shoppers, bikers and walkers any day of the week.

Like the dogwoods and daffodils, Charlotte is emerging from another Carolina winter. From park picnics and outdoor concerts to spring markets and Circle K Speed Street, the Queen City is blooming with events and experiences you won’t want to miss.
