Seize the City: Immigration and Belonging

Part local guide, part community gathering, and part dinner with a story.
Seize the City returns on November 12 as we discuss immigration and belonging. Join us for an immersive experience, where we'll gather around the table for a great meal and meaningful conversations. Explore how different cultures, traditions, and lived experiences contribute to the city. Hear different perspectives on what it means to call Charlotte home.
How has immigration shaped the Charlotte we know today?
Charlotte has changed from a largely bicultural, Black and white city to an increasingly vibrant multicultural one. This infusion of new cultures, traditions, and stories is visible everywhere—from diverse restaurants, neighborhoods and festivals to public art and music. Learn how immigration has helped make the Queen City more multicultural, infusing the city with diverse cultures, traditions, and stories.
Come for the stories. Stay for the conversation. Leave with a new perspective on the city we call home.
