It's not part of the convention, and it's not authorized by the DNC.
It's one event from a collection events submitted to the DNCC - a group of Charlotte politicians and business men who formed a comittee to attract the DNC to Charlotte - by the public. The DNCC is trying to run a successful and profitable convention for the city of Charlotte, so they're advertising these events surrounding the DNC on behalf of the city.
Anybody could submit an event, and the DNCC published information about events that are either over Labor Day Weekend or during the Convention, are well planned, are not content inappropriate, and provide either educational or cultural content. Other non DNC events the DNCC is promoting include:
•A Christian Gospel Brunch
•A College Football Tailgate party
•A Trip to the NASCAR Hall of Fame
•A music festival (CarolinaFest)
•A Film Festival
•Free Yoga classes in the park
•Charlotte Labor Day Festival (Matthews Alive!)
•A Happy Hour with the Mayor for members of the Young Republicans and Young Democrats
•The Grand Opening (renovated) of a Science Museum
•An Art Exhibit of Madeleine Albright's Jewelery where she'll be giving a speech entitled "Against the Grain: Wood in Contemporary Art, Craft, and Design"
