The 2023 Charlotte StrEATs Festival Schedule

StrEATs Tasting Tour

April 15th from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

On Saturday, we’ll host a ticketed tasting event where attendees can travel from neighborhood to neighborhood without leaving Uptown!

Restaurants representing iconic Charlotte neighborhoods will serve a dish that represents their neighborhoods. Guests can visit each tasting tent and enjoy cocktails while taking in intimate demonstrations from
our stage.

Charlotte StrEATs Festival

April 16th from 12-5 p.m.

On Sunday, attendees can celebrate the city’s culinary scene in a FREE, family-friendly event! The festival will feature food for sale, a celebrity chef, cooking demonstrations, trucks, live music, art and vendors, as well as our Neighborhood Battles! These battles will pit chefs head-to-head in a cook-off to win the title of StrEATs Neighborhood
Champion.

StrEATs Smarts Seminars

April 1-14th

There’s a wealth of knowledge in Charlotte’s hospitality community, and we’re spreading that knowledge with help from restaurants! Leading up to the big StrEATs weekend, join us for intimate seminars on subjects such as wine, spirits, gardening, cooking, and more.
