Charlotte Thrives: Silent Disco Party!

CHARLOTTE THRIVES invite you and your community to dance through the streets of downtown Charlotte. All you need are your headphones, clothes you can sweat in, water to hydrate, and any friends you want to bring along!

How often do you get a chance to parade the streets with all your friends? We're excited to invite you to this mobile celebration of community, creativity, and the joy of movement!

Date & Time: Saturday, December 7th, 2024

Gather Time: 6:45 PM

Start Time: 7:15 PM

Cost: Sliding Scale $5 - 20

Starting Location: Meet at the Firebird Statue outside of the Bechtler Museum

What to Expect:

• 45 minutes of dancing.
• We will travel in a loop so that we will arrive where we started!
• At 7:00 PM, participants will gather in the parking lot, where they will receive a specially curated dance playlist. By 7:15 PM, the music will start, and we will set off on our lively parade. As we move through the streets, everyone will be synced to the same beats, creating a moving, grooving spectacle of lights, costumes, and dance. The route is designed to maximize the fun and visibility of the group, offering plenty of opportunities for onlookers to join in the Halloween spirit.

What to Bring:

• BYOH (Bring Your Own Headphones): Ensure you can tune into the DJ set.
• Reflective and Blinking Attire (optional): For safety and visibility, we suggest participants wear reflective clothing or accessories that light up.

Safety and Inclusivity: This event is designed with safety and inclusivity in mind. The route has been selected for its pedestrian-friendly pathways, and participants are encouraged to wear visible attire. The silent disco format allows participants to enjoy the music without disturbing the surrounding neighborhoods.

Our Goals:

• To create a fun, engaging, and safe dance event for the Charlotte community.
• To bring together diverse members of the community for a shared, joyful experience.
