I actually saw these (light up seesaws) when they were first installed in Montreal and was fascinated by them, and thought this would be a really cool thing to bring into Charlotte ... But this is all just a brief peek of what’s coming with this year’s festival. Look for the most up-to-date information on the festival’s site, and get ready to take in the tastes, sights, sounds, and bold ideas of Charlotte SHOUT!

“A lot of people are from the city or just moving to the city and don’t know where to find live music,” guitarist Jalen Robinson laments. Robinson performed in the opening act on the main stage Friday. For an expanded list of art installations and events, visit the Charlotte SHOUT! In short, it's annual arts and culture festival with a reputation for transforming uptown Charlotte into a wonderland of interactive art, music, food and cultural offerings. Is an annual celebration of the city’s art, culture, and community.

The festival kicks off on Friday, April 5 with a barbecue spread, crawfish boil and a private concert from Filmore. On Saturday, April 6, enjoy barbecue tastings, live music from North Carolina acts and vendors on site. A number of fan-favorite Charlotte SHOUT! Installations are returning to Uptown this year, including interactive seesaws and an amphitheater made from upcycled pianos at Grace on Brevard that's the first of its kind in the United States. Easter Eggs on Parade is a fun way for Charlotte SHOUT!
