Charlotte Ideas Festival
The Charlotte Ideas Festival returns this Spring (Thursday, April 9 through Tuesday, April 14) for six days of big ideas, bold conversation, and community connection through the lens of the humanities and civic imagination. Building on the energy and inspiration of past festivals — from explorations of artificial intelligence and creativity to deep conversations about culture, community, and the future — we’re thrilled to bring another season of thoughtful programming to Charlotte.
The Charlotte Ideas Festival is a celebration of curiosity, connection, and imagination — bringing together thinkers, creators, and community members to explore ideas worth sharing. Whether you attend a single event or immerse yourself in the full six days, we’re grateful to have you as part of this community of thinkers and doers.
