The holidays are a time for coming together, and Friendsgiving celebrations in the Charlotte area are a way to do just that with friends, community members and others you might want to get to know a little better this November.
There’s no set day for this unofficial gathering, but many host the event close to Thanksgiving as a way to celebrate with friends, as well as family. This year, Charlotte’s Friendsgiving celebration stretch from early November to Thanksgiving day itself.
If you don’t want to host one yourself, there are several options for you to reserve a space at one already in motion. There’s even a Friendsgiving feast on tap at Counter-, but the dinners have already sold out — so don’t delay if there’s an event you have your eye on…
