Warmer weather in the Charlotte area means that festival season is upon us! If you’re looking for something fun to do that will make everyone in the family happy, a local festival will usually check all of the boxes. Adult beverages? Check. Sweet treats? Check. Vendors with unique items to sell? Check. Rides? Also check. See? Local festivals are the way to go!
