Taste of Charlotte, a three-day festival in Uptown Charlotte, spotlights area restaurants and food vendors. The festival also features three stages of live entertainment, and a kids’ area.
It will take place October 7th to 9th, 2022, at Truist Field, 324 S. Mint Street. These are the rescheduled dates. It was supposed to be September 30th to October 2nd, but apparently a storm is coming.
The hours of Taste of Charlotte:
- Friday: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
- Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
- Sunday 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Enjoy trying tons of food, as well as live entertainment and more, in a fun, family-friendly environment.
Admission is still free, just as it was when the event took place on Tryon Street.
Purchase festival coins to buy samples and pay for kids’ activities. A large cup of coins contains 14 coins and costs $20.
You can use festival coins for kids’ activities, or buy a wristband for unlimited play for $20.
