The U.S. National Whitewater Center’s annual Memorial Day celebration takes place Saturday, May 28th, and Sunday, May 29th, 2022.
It includes a trail race, yoga, and live music. The event originally included fireworks on Sunday night, but according to the U.S. National Whitewater Center’s Facebook post:
Due to multiple abrupt changes in the firework permitting process prescribed by Mecklenburg County and the City of Charlotte, the Whitewater Center will no longer feature a fireworks display on Sunday, May 29th, 2022. The Memorial Day Trail Race, live music, yoga, and all other programming remains as previously scheduled.
