Three days of art, performance and the unexpected.
The BOOM festival is Charlotte’s annual showcase of contemporary and experimental art created on the fringes of popular culture. We’ve gathered a unique coalition of artists, volunteers, nonprofits, local businesses and neighborhood organizations to transform the way art is made and shared in the Queen City. Tickets are $10 and many of our events are free admission. BOOM has something for everyone, no matter your age or taste, so join us in Plaza Midwood the weekend of April 26-28, 2019.
BOOM and OPEN STREET 704 Collaborate and Close the Streets: plan your BOOM experience accordingly and arrive early. Parking tips and street closures here.
