Look closely at Charlotte and you’ll discover a lot. Thanks to a perfect blend of urban sophistication and a well-known dose of Southern hospitality, it’s easy to see why people fall in love with the Queen City. A thriving cityscape delivers arts and cultural attractions, dining, and nightlife for every persuasion, and an ambiance all its own. With new development ranging from five new or renovated cultural venues to cutting-edge attractions, smart city planning is certainly making Charlotte a vibrant hub of the Southeast. Featuring everything from a sparkling night skyline to adrenaline-rushing adventures, visitors will find a lot to their liking—not to mention plenty of Southern comforts along the way. Find a lot more at http://www.charlottesgotalot.com/.

We are hosted this year by the Arts & Science Council of Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
