Arts & Culture

Anticipating cooler temperatures in the near future, Charlotteans emerge from area swimming pools and lakes ready for outdoor festivals to make the most of the changing of the season. No matter what your interest—bluegrass music, new-to-you international cultures, or deep-fried Twinkies—the Queen City has a fall festival for you.

Harvey Cummings is a man in tune with himself and his hometown. A native of Charlotte, he began a life in music at the early age of 3. He has since become an accomplished saxophonist and pianist, performing alongside decorated industry greats and in front of some of the country’s most celebrated individuals and organizations.

Our neighborhoods feature public art that screams out to be posted on Instagram or used as a selfie backdrop.
