102 things to do in Charlotte this weekend

We do this every week: read through everything happening in Charlotte, cross out the filler, and keep the stuff worth leaving the house for. This weekend (Oct 02–Oct 04) gave us 102 events to choose from. These are the keepers.

What caught our eye: Family leads the weekend with 14 events, and 1 of the weekend's events are free.

If your budget's tight this month: 1 of the weekend's events are free, and ticketed ones start at CAD 33. Weekends don't have to be expensive to be good.
