All Weekend:

Street Eats – We are participating in the City’s Street Eats program by closing specific blocks of Tryon St. in Uptown, and by placing tables in the sidewalks and curb lanes. This allows restaurants to have addition outdoor seating. We are partnering with the new Uptown-focused Intown Delivery Service, to allow restaurants outside of those specific blocks to have food delivered. 

  • Street Eats hours are Friday at 5pm until Sunday at 9pm
  • 204 North, Sea Level, SIP and The Asbury are participating in the Street Eats Program with extended patios. 
  • The block will have picnic tables and special lighting for an inviting experience
  • Center City Ambassadors will be on hand to answer questions and provide hospitality 
  • Food Trucks are scheduled throughout the weekend.

Street Closure – Tryon Street between 5th and 6th streets will be closed from Friday at 12pm and until Sunday at 10pm

Programming – We are providing free outdoor programming in and around the closed blocks. The programming includes small stages for music and fitness classes. There will be street performers and musical entertainment. 

Discounted Parking and Ride Transit – We are also pleased to announce partnerships with Bank of America, Truist and Cousins for almost 4,000 free and $1 parking spaces in Uptown from Friday at 5:00 P.M. until Sunday at 9:00 P.M. in support of this initiative for Uptown.

Cool Globes “Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet”– Installed at the end of June, the globes are displayed along N. Tryon from Trade to 11th. Public art with a purpose, Cool Globes are designed to educate and inspire on solutions to climate change, with each globe illustrating individual steps we can each take.

There are a total of 35 globe-trotting globes in Charlotte, 7 of which are designed by local Charlotte artists: Max Dowdle, Britt Flood, Norma Gely, Rosalie Grubb, Jackie London, Rosalia Weiner, and the students at Trinity Episcopal School. The Cool Globes Charlotte exhibit was made possible with the support of Discovery Place, Trane Technologies and the City of Charlotte. 

Charlotte Joy Rides, Made Possible by Blue Cross and Blue Shield – As part of this activation, the bike share system Charlotteans have loved and trusted since 2012 has launched a new and improved bike experience called Charlotte Joy Rides. There is now a fleet of 343 e-assist bicycles and the addition of 4 docking stations throughout Center City, bringing the system total to 33 stations. The bikes are all painted as art bikes by seven of Charlotte’s best muralists. And, as part of this re-launch, Charlotte Joy Rides is providing simplified, introductory pricing:

  • Flash Pass: $5 for 30 minutes 
  • Joy Pass: $30 All Day (no docking required in a 24-hour period)
  • Monthly and Annual Memberships: $50 per month or $150 per year
  • All bikes must be docked at the end of your chosen ride 

The Flash and Joy Passes are available at any Charlotte Joy Rides kiosk, on our mobile app or website.
