The Charlotte StrEATs Festival
Celebrate the chefs and neighborhoods that make up Charlotte’s culinary scene during Charlotte SHOUT!

About the Festival
Charlotte StrEATs is a culinary festival celebrating the chefs and neighborhoods that make up Charlotte’s culinary scene. The event is part of Charlotte SHOUT! and is hosted by Unpretentious Palate and Carben Events.
The 2023 festival was bigger and better as we took over Gateway Village all weekend! The event included a SOLD OUT Tasting Tour on Saturday and a full day of festival fun on Sunday that included our Neighborhood Cook-off curated by Plaid Penguin as well as a special appearance by Food Network star Chef Alex Guarnaschelli.
We are excited to begin planning for 2024! Interested in sponsoring? Email casey @ carbenevents.com.
