"Weekend Roundup: Checkers, Dancing, Warm Soles, and More in Charlotte"

  • Résumé

  • Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Saturday, February 22, 2025. We're starting off the weekend with a mix of exciting events and updates from around the city.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today is looking partly cloudy with highs around 48 degrees and lows of 30 degrees, making it a perfect day to get out and enjoy some of the activities happening around town[5].

    Speaking of activities, there's plenty to choose from today. If you're a hockey fan, you can catch the Charlotte Checkers taking on the Hershey Bears at Bojangles Coliseum at 4 p.m. Or, if dancing is more your thing, "Dancing with the Stars: Live!" is performing at Ovens Auditorium with two showtimes at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.[1].

    For those looking to make a difference, the inaugural Warm Soles Night Walk is happening from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., starting at Queens University on Selwyn Avenue. This event aims to raise awareness and funds for Supportive Housing Communities to help those experiencing homelessness in Charlotte[1].

    In other news, the Cornelius Parks & Recreation Department is celebrating Black History Month with an event at Cain Center for the Arts on Catawba Avenue from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This free event features live musical performances, keynote speakers, and an art exhibit[1].

    Looking ahead to Sunday, don't miss the final weekend of Rail Trail Lights in South End. This is your last chance to enjoy the nine different light installations along the rail trail[1].

    On the cultural front, the Mad Monster Party is running all weekend at Embassy Suites Concord/Charlotte, featuring celebrity guests, Q&A sessions, and more[1].

    In music news, Lil Wayne is performing at the Spectrum Center on Sunday at 8 p.m. with special guests The Hot Boys. Tickets are still available starting at $90.85[1].

    Moving on to community events, next weekend is packed with galas. On March 1, you can attend the Dancing with the Stars of Charlotte Gala, the Cowboys & Couture at the 2025 Green Gala, the Heart for Hope Gala, or the Night for Sight Mardi Gras Ball[4].

    In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we're always proud to highlight the accomplishments of our local students and athletes.

    On the crime front, we don't have any significant incidents to report from the past 24 hours. As always, we encourage everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

    Finally, let's end on a positive note. While we don't have a specific feel-good story today, we're reminded of the community's spirit and resilience, especially as we enjoy the warmer weather after a brief spell of cold.

    This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
