13th International Fall Fest

Since 2014, International Fall Fest has brought together neighbors from around the world for a day of food, music, and connection. What began as a small gathering in a parking lot has grown into a beloved tradition welcoming thousands of community members each year.

This event has always been completely free and open to everyone. It is a chance to gather together and experience, in one place, the many cultures, traditions, and stories that shape Charlotte.

Please consider making a donation to help us keep this event free for all community members.
