Details

On May 20th and 21st, 2023, from Noon to 4 pm each day, the Friends of Fourth Ward will host the Secret Gardens of Fourth Ward, an urban garden and lifestyle tour in the heart of uptown Charlotte. From the micro to the magnificent, the tour showcases a mix of private gardens, courtyards and unique outdoor living spaces that are rarely, if ever, open to the public. This walkable, self-guided event allows tour-goers to explore these hidden oases while strolling the brick-paved sidewalks of this charming neighborhood in full bloom, complete with food, beer and cocktail tastings at gardens and restaurants along the way. In addition to the featured gardens, the tour will highlight public art, historic homes, and special points of interest along the tour route, effectively making all of Historic Fourth Ward - and the extraordinary quality of life it offers - part of the tour.

ADDITIONAL TOUR ATTRACTIONS INCLUDE: Complimentary food, beer and cocktail tastings (while they last) in gardens and restaurants along the tour route, and live music by Leisure McCorkle. Free golf cart rides from Ride Charlotte (first-come, first served; hop on when space available) throughout the neighborhood during tour hours. SATURDAY ONLY, FROM 2-5: Optional "Voices from the Past" event at Elmwood/Pinewood Cemetery. Voices is a unique living history event that tells the stories of our founding fathers, civic leaders, pioneering women, and a few interesting characters. Guests are invited to take a "spirited stroll" through Charlotte's historic cemeteries and interact with portrayers as they tell the stories of the men and women who helped make Charlotte what it is today. Voices from the Past is self-guided, and guests may begin the tour at any time between 2-5 on Saturday.
