Festival in the Park is back in Charlotte’s Freedom Park — with beer and wine
Festival in the Park is back at Freedom Park beginning Friday, Sept. 16, with a few changes — including the addition of beer and wine for the first time in the festival’s 58-year history. You can also expect more food selections and double the art at the popular Charlotte event.
Here are the details:

Four performance stages will return to the festival for the first time since 2019. Performing artists include:
- On The Border; and
- The Ultimate Eagles Tribute Band on the Main Stage Saturday evening.
Does it feel earlier than usual? That’s because the festival date has moved up due to the upcoming PGA President’s Cup. The festival is occurring one week earlier than its traditional date — which falls on the fall solstice.
