Since the fall of 1964, Festival in the Park has brought Charlotteans from all walks of life          together to enjoy arts, crafts, music and family entertainment. With the mission of bringing        the community together by celebrating the arts, the Festival Board is excited to broaden its reach and to announce the second year of its spring fine arts event, the Kings Drive Art Walk.

We invite you to participate in our spring event which will be held along the Sugar Creek Greenway, a newly reclaimed natural waterway between East Morehead Street and Pearle Street Bridget along Kings Drive. With a focus on fine and emerging artists, our new spring festival on this beautiful and easily accessible venue will become an annual fine arts outing!

Most importantly, the King's Drive section of the Sugar Creek Greenway is adjacent to some of Charlotte's most prestigious and affluent neighborhoods - with homeowners who appreciate and can afford fine are. We intend to target these neighborhoods with appropriate promotional materials.
