BOB Awards Party, Charlotte Beer Festival, Brew Me Beerfest and More, May 28 to May 31
With a four-day week for many of us, this week flew by. Cheers to another weekend with these social events.
Aren’t four-day workweeks just so much better than five-day ones? We think so, too. While this weekend might feel a bit short after the holiday last week, here are some events to make you feel right at home, Charlotte. See y’all out there.
P.S. Come join us at our annual BOB Awards party Friday night! More information is below. You don’t want to miss it!
Thursday, May 28
Pink to Drink
Throw on your best pop-of-pink outfit and come out to either Olde Mecklenburg Brewery or Sugar Creek Brewery from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. for an evening of live music, local beer, appetizers and, of course, pink. Tickets are $25, and the ticket helps fund 24 Hours of Booty, a nonprofit that supports cancer patients. Olde Mecklenburg is at 4150 Yancey Road and Sugar Creek is at 215 Southside Drive. Buy your tickets here.
Superhero Run
Whether it be Catwoman, Batman or the Hulk, Halloween could come early for you! Put on your best superhero garb and come for a super run – literally. Run For Your Life and Triple C Brewing Co. are hosting this superhero run to benefit a local boy, whose family needs help with medical expenses. The run is at 6:30 p.m., and the drinking can start before or after – or both. Triple C is at 2900 Griffith St.
