Things To Do in Charlotte This Weekend: March 13-March 15

From outdoor celebrations to sharp stand-up and sweeping spectacles, Charlotte's mid-March lineup offers something for every mood. "Green River Revival" brings festive energy to the outdoors, Matthew Broussard delivers clever, quick-witted comedy, and "Carmina Burana" transforms the stage with cirque-inspired grandeur alongside a packed slate of live music and weeknight excitement across the Queen City.

Green River Revival is a vibrant spring festival at the Whitewater Center that celebrates St. Patrick's Day with outdoor fun and family-friendly activities. The day features the playful transformation of the river to bright green, a themed trail run, yoga sessions, live music, and more, bringing together community and nature lovers for a festive kickoff to the season.

Matthew Broussard is a comedy headliner whose sharp, self-effacing stand-up draws on his quirky background and quick wit, blending intellectual humor with personal anecdotes and wordplay. He has appeared on "The Tonight Show," "Conan," "Comedy Central," and in TV and film roles, bringing smart, engaging comedy to audiences. His material blends incisive jokes with personal charm to create comedy that resonates as much as it entertains.

Caroline Calouche & Co.'s 20th anniversary season is anchored by an ambitious production of "Carmina Burana," transforming the iconic choral masterpiece into a sweeping fusion of dance, cirque, and live music. The production has achieved over 130 performances involving musicians, dancers, singers, and actors. The orchestra and choir perform Carl Orff's dramatic score, accompanied by amazing modern dance and aerial choreography, which complement the musical drama. The result is a visually striking, emotionally charged performance that reimagines a classical work through bold, modern spectacle.

Charlotte's weekend soundtrack spans dark electronic legends, high-energy rock, and late-night circus vibes. From immersive live shows to edgy, after-hours performances, the city's stages are set for a dynamic mix of sound and spectacle that keeps the crowd moving all weekend long.

Charlotte's weeknights are anything but quiet, with carnival lights, buzzer-beaters, punchlines, and late-night beats keeping the city in motion. From family-friendly fun to high-energy crowds and dance-floor vibes, each evening offers a different way to shake off the workday and lean into the rhythm of the Queen City.
