What’s New This Week
for the week of December 4, 2015
There’s officially less than four weeks left of 2015, but you can better believe, among the holiday parties and ugly Christmas sweaters, Charlotte still maintains what it does best– live entertainment. This week is no different, kicking off the first week of December with plenty of musical options.

Elsewhere Sunday night, relax with The Charlotte Blues Society at Double Door Inn for their annual Christmas party featuring The King Bees.
