I had no idea about the Balloon Festival until a balloon landed in our front yard!!! I have also heard good things about the Renaissance Festival.

I also like the Taste of Charlotte and Speedstreet. The Auto Fair at Charlotte Speedway is hot too!

Tons of old school cars displayed, some for sale and some for show. You have some exotic cars on display. Their are also vendors selling various products such as waxes, wheels, etc.

BBQ and Blues (formerly Blues, Brews and BBQ) is also a great festival to attend. This year was much better, because there was much more BBQ available from around the Carolinas. I remember a few years ago when Mac's used to be the sole BBQ vendor, and you had to walk around the parking lot to the amateur competitor's tents to hopefully grab a free bite of anything else (from those that were sharing). Not that I don't love Mac's...I just love a little more variety if it's a festival dedicated to BBQ! I hope they expand even more next year.

Haven't been to this one for Nov 13, but just saw a flyer so I thought I'd post it ATA-NC Charlotte Presents (http://www.charlotteturks.org/Festival/Welcome.html - broken link)
