With all of this dreary weather (and unfortunately more on the way) we think some good news is overdue: this weekend’s event forecast is looking bright with a chance of a great time. We’ve rounded up the best of the best of what deserves your attention this weekend, so get to planning!
We’re taking a rain check this weekend, but join in on Front Porch Sundays again NEXT SUNDAY Oct. 11!
Enjoy everything we love about Charlotte (and Sundays) on South End’s “front porch.” Right next door to Sycamore Brewing at Shook Kelly, there’ll be local vendors for you to shop… painted pumpkins for purchase or supplies for you to paint your own….food from Juan Taco Truck and Belly Backers, sweets from southerncakequeen and Polar Snoballs by Kelly….and the South End Wine Fest will be there with a free wine tasting. Shopping is a major part of Front Porch Sundays ~ you can wander in and out of fashion trucks Curvaceous Closet,  The Marketplace and  The Sole Addiction and shop a growing list of vendors curated & coordinated by the owner of The Blvd at SouthEnd, so you know they will be good!
