Hey, Charlotte – It’s almost that time again! The weekend is near and we’ve curated a list of some of the best things to do in Charlotte.
Rock out at Willow or Playboi Carti, keep it chill at the Matthews Farmer’s Market, or somewhere in between, this weekend in the Queen City is sure to be memorable.
Playboi Carti
Are you ready, Charlotte? Singer-songwriter/rapper Playboi Carti brings his
“Narcissist” show to Charlotte at the Bojangles Coliseum this Friday. Talk about starting off the weekend big! Fly solo or with a crew, if you’re a hip-hop fan, or just love innovative tunes, this isn’t a show you’ll wanna miss.

The Loyalist believes in quality food prepared right served in an intimate setting and it shows. From the non-pretentious (but still pleasantly presented) charcuterie boards, to the unique flavors found in their carefully curated sandwiches (we loved the Queen Charlotte Pimento Grilled Cheese and the Chipotle Turkey Bacon!) and plates, the Loyalist is perfect for enjoying delicacies in an inviting atmosphere.
Have lunch or a snack, or come down for dinner – the Loyalist’s versatile offerings are sure to please. After dining, don’t forget to take a few snaps at their uber-instagrammable patio mural!
