QUEEN CITY FEST 5/23 UPDATE ☁️⚡️

After closely monitoring forecasts and discussing logistics with the city, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel Queen City Fest this Saturday.

This was not an easy call.

While HCM events are typically rain or shine, forecasts are currently showing a high likelihood of thunderstorms throughout the day. Out of care for our vendors, shoppers, staff, and small businesses’ products and inventory, we feel this is the safest decision.

Thank you for always supporting local and understanding when tough calls have to be made. We appreciate this community more than you know and look forward to seeing everyone soon under better skies. 💚

Want your brand in front of thousands of Charlotte shoppers while directly supporting local small businesses? We’re officially opening sponsorship opportunities for some of HandCraftedMarket’s biggest 2026 events.

Including:
• Sundays @ Atherton (last Sunday of every month)
• Market on Camden (Saturdays once a month June-Dec)
• Sweet August Fest on 8/8 in Uptown
• Queen City Fest on 5/23 in Uptown

We’re looking to partner with brands, businesses, and organizations that want meaningful visibility at highly attended community-centered events.

Sponsorship opportunities range from:
• Title + presenting sponsors with large-scale branding and on-site activations
• Branded lounge or experience areas
• Balloon/photo moment sponsorships
• Tote bag or giveaway sponsors
• Vendor hospitality + snack sponsors
• Interactive activations and sampling opportunities
• And smaller community sponsorships for businesses wanting to support local makers in a more approachable way

One thing that has always mattered to us is keeping our events accessible for small businesses while still creating elevated, high-quality experiences for shoppers and vendors alike. Sponsorships allow us to continue investing in the details that make our events special while helping keep vendor costs as reasonable as possible.

If your business is interested in getting involved, we’d love to create something custom that makes sense for your goals and budget.

Please email [email protected] for our sponsorship deck and partnership opportunities.
