Fall Nights in Uptown

Uptown Charlotte is the place to be this October. From live music to spooky movies under the stars, two free event series are bringing energy, entertainment, and community to the heart of the city all month long.

Weekend Warmup at Romare Bearden Park

Every Thursday in October, kick off your weekend at Weekend Warmup, presented by Ascent Uptown. Romare Bearden Park transforms into the ultimate after-work hangout with a farmers’ market starting at 3 p.m. and live music filling the air from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Whether you’re stocking up on fresh produce, catching up with friends, or just soaking in the Uptown skyline, Weekend Warmup is the perfect way to ease into the weekend.
