Events

You can demonstrate your support of historic preservation by participating in Historic Charlotte’s major annual advocacy and fundraising events.

Blast for the Past

October 17, 2013

This October attend our annual Blast for the Past, a celebration benefitting Historic Charlotte with live music, libations, hors d’oeuvres, and enticing silent auction items, and showcasing the year’s top innovative historic preservation projects in the community.

Public, commercial, residential — all buildings are eligible, whether they have been restored to original quality, adapted to new uses, or created as infill to blend harmoniously with surrounding architecture.

Nominated projects must exemplify effective preservation, historic renovation, or adaptive use. Projects that epitomize new construction or neighborhood planning within a historic context are also eligible.

We’re currently seeking nominations for the thirteenth annual Preservation Awards. To obtain a nomination form, e-mail info@HistoricCharlotte.org.

Award winners will be honored at Blast for the Past on October 17, 2013. Details to follow. Stay updated.

Home Tour

Coming May 2014

The Home Tour is an opportunity to take a look inside some of the best preserved, restored, and rehabbed homes showcasing Charlotte’s array of classic residential architecture. The tour may focus on a building style like Craftsman bungalow or mid-century modern, or it may center on a history-steeped neighborhood. Whatever the theme, it's always an adventure.

Next spring join fellow enthusiasts for a self-guided tour of some of our town’s best historic houses. Stay updated.
