Why every date here carries its year
The local calendars were read on October 4, 2026, and year mix-ups were common: one resort page still printed December 31, 2025 for its New Year's Eve event, and one guide listed the same Home and Garden Show under April and under October. Each date on this page was taken from the organizer's page with its year.
The 30 events come from 15 websites. The ones that supplied the most are fishermensvillage.com (5), sunseekerresort.com (4), charlotteperformingartscenter.com (4), unitedwayccfl.org (3) and keepcharlottebeautiful.org (3). No calendar that was read shows time, address and price together for every event, so a missing time or price here means the organizer did not print one.
3 dated events state free admission. 5 markets and street events repeat weekly or monthly and sit under their own heading.
