Carolina Equality Festival strives to create a culture of hope, expression, and joy driven by the community and individuals. The festival is a collection of artists, creators, and change-makers. Our mission is to propel Charlotte forward in its efforts to best serve our city, community, and its people to live a life full of possibilities. We believe bringing folks together through arts, music, and performance art fosters connections, creates joy, and empowers people to live boldly and with authenticity. Our festival is an invitation to your fullest self-expression. We welcome everyone to explore, discover, and create their best self. Prepare for an experience, unlike any other festival. Be a part of the magic. We know that you’ll find a piece of yourself here. Our festival. Your transformation.
