CHARLOTTE, IT'S TIME TO MIMOSA WITH PURPOSE!
The Hydration Station Foundation is once again proud to partner with our friends at Twirl to the World Foundation to kick off Charlotte Pride the only way we know how: with fabulous people, flowing mimosas and a whole lot of love for our community.
Join us at Victoria Yards as we raise a glass to Pride, friendship, inclusion and giving back. Whether you're a longtime Pride veteran or celebrating for the very first time, this is the perfect place to start your festival adventure.
Sip.
Celebrate.
Support.
Repeat.
Located just steps from all the Charlotte Pride festivities, Victoria Yards will be your official pre-game destination before heading out to enjoy one of Charlotte's most colorful weekends of the year.

BENEFITING THE TWIRL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Every ticket helps support the Twirl Assistance Program, which provides emergency hardship grants to LGBTQ+ adults across the Charlotte region for necessities such as mental health treatment, medical care, food assistance and transportation.
Because Pride is more than a celebration—it's showing up for each other when it matters most.
A NOTE ON COMMUNITY
While Hydration Station Foundation may have been built on mimosas and champagne, we've always believed that everyone deserves a seat at the table. Non-alcoholic options will be available, and we proudly support members of our community living in sobriety.
We also encourage everyone to ride-share, plan ahead and celebrate responsibly.
Come thirsty. Come proud. Come exactly as you are.
Let's kick off Charlotte Pride together.
