Street closures began Monday in Uptown as crews prepared for the upcoming Lovin’ Life Music Festival.
Roads surrounding Uptown Charlotte’s First Ward Park are now blocked off while workers assemble outdoor stages for the three-day event.
The festival runs Friday through Sunday and will feature headliners including Gwen Stefani, Benson Boone, and the Dave Matthews Band. Organizers say this year’s lineup will also highlight local talent, expanding the festival’s reach and cultural relevance.
Festival director Gregg McConnell confirmed that ticket sales remain consistent with last year’s turnout of 86,000 attendees during the inaugural event.
Despite minor issues in 2023—including sound overlap, rain delays, and navigation challenges—the first Lovin’ Life Festival received strong community support and critical acclaim.
USA Today named it one of the Top 10 New Festivals in the US. Officials encourage visitors to plan ahead for traffic changes and expect large crowds in the Uptown area throughout the weekend.
