Festival In The Park

It's Family… It's Art… and It's Free. The 44th annual Festival in the Park, held in Freedom Park near uptown Charlotte begins on Thursday, September 18th and continues through Sunday, September 21st, 2008.

Since 1964, Festival in the Park has been bringing good music, good art and good times to Charlotteans and visitors from around the world. The sounds of "big band music" drift across Freedom Park's lake whose still surface reflects the lights strung from Camelot exhibit tents.

This fun filled event is designed to promote and stimulate interest in the arts. It provides the opportunity for all to see, hear, and learn from over 150 artists and crafts people who actively demonstrate and display their art. Nearly a thousand entertainers provide free ongoing performances at the main band shell and many stages surrounding it.

Festival in the Park has been chosen as one of Sunshine Artists Magazine's 200 BEST festivals. Over 100,000 visitors are estimated to have attended the 2007 Festival in the Park.

We encourage all to participate and get involved with the Festival in the Park!!
