Our Favorite Things Fest

Our Favorite Things is an annual celebration of everything that brings us joy — the music, films, artists, and community that make Charlotte feel like home. As spring begins to bloom, this festival gathers audiences of all ages to honor the arts, spotlight local talent, and share experiences that remind us of who we are and are our favorite things.

Each May, the festival blends film, music, local arts partnerships, and live performances, creating a multi‑week cultural moment that belongs uniquely to this community.
