The weekend is almost here and this weekend is turning out to be one of the busiest yet!
There are so many festivals, concerts, and social gatherings, we even included 3 bonus events at the bottom of our top 5 list;
#1 Charlotte’s International Sandwich Festival
Enjoy the best food and music from Charlotte’s east side, known for its authentic mix of family-run restaurants that range from Asian, Latin American and Middle Eastern to downhome soul.
The event will take place on April 30 on the front lawn of the 250-acre campus of the Aldersgate, 3800 Shamrock Drive.
For more information you can check out their Facebook page here.
#2 Queen’s Cup
The Queen’s Cup is one of the Carolina’s largest equestrian events, taking place this Saturday, April 20th in Mineral Springs, NC (just south of Charlotte). This year some of the fastest horses in the country will come to the Carolina’s to race in a truly traditional ‘steeplechase’.
The event will be filled with a true mix of horse enthusiasts, race fans, and networking elite looking to solidify their latest business deal.
There will be plenty of space all around the rolling hills to set up a spacious picnic or tailgate with some of your neighbors.

#3 Anti-Toll Road Rally
If you’re against the new toll roads now being constructed on i77, you’re not alone. Almost every town and city around Lake Norman has already signed petitions, legislation, and memorandums to try to get the project stopped.
The state legislature has finally heard the people and earlier this week they introduced a new bill that might finally stop the toll roads.
This coming Friday, there will be a massive public rally from 5:30pm until dark (stop by even if you’re late) at the Exit 28 bridge in Cornelius – anyone who opposes the toll lanes is welcome and picket signs are encouraged – you can find out more info here.

The first Open Streets 704 event is about to shut down several streets this coming Sunday (May 1) from noon to 4 p.m.
