AREAA Charlotte Metro 2026 Holiday Party

Celebrate the season in style at AREAA Charlotte Metro’s 2026 Holiday Party themed FÚ LÙ SHOÙ!

Join us on the 50th floor above Uptown Charlotte at The Vue's Sky Lounge Bar, where dazzling city lights and skyline views create the perfect backdrop for an evening of connection, laughter, and celebration. Enjoy delicious bites, lively conversation, and stunning photo opportunities that will light up your socials.

This is our moment! AREAA's 2026 Holiday Celebration focuses on a traditional Asian theme, Fú Lù Shoù, the spirit of prosperity, wealth, and health. As we celebrate the season, we also celebrate homeownership as the engine of generational wealth; it builds our communities and provides those we care for with stability, safety, and educational opportunities.

As part of this special evening, we’ll honor our 2026 Board of Directors for their commitment and leadership, welcome the 2027 Board, and celebrate the Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity on the path forward for this chapter, the AANHPI community, and its allies.

We’ll also take a moment to recognize and thank our 2026 Chapter Sponsors, whose continued support makes our mission possible:
