Day Parties in Charlotte

A day party is a party that starts in the afternoon and is over before the night crowd shows up. It's a good option if you want music and a crowd but don't want a 2 a.m. night.

What to expect. Most start around midday or early afternoon. Many are a brunch with a DJ, or a patio or rooftop event. Check each listing for the price.

When they happen. Weekends, mostly Saturday and Sunday. If your Friday plans fell through, check Sunday.

What to wear. Daytime, outdoor, and warm. Some are dressy brunches and some are casual. If the listing doesn't say, check the organizer's page.

Getting there. Where it's held decides everything. Uptown and South End are easiest by light rail or rideshare. Other spots are easier by car. The nightlife guide covers how to get to each neighborhood.

Buy ahead. If an event has a ticket link, buying ahead is usually easier than waiting for the door. Details like age limits and doors are set by the organizer.

Looking for something later? See tonight or this weekend. If you want R&B specifically, browse R&B nights.
