I have lived in Charlotte for a year now and I first heard about Summer Pops last year. I was so excited this summer to give it a try and we enjoyed it so much I think next year we may buy summer passes. I think they hold other events here as well but that is the only thing I have come for. The symphony is amazing first off, so great to enjoy. You also get to bring your own seating and food, wine etc so the whole event is so wonderful. They also have food trucks out front for you to enjoy as well.
