Matthews Alive is a fun filled family event for kids of all ages. It was founded on one simple principle that it still runs by today....non profit help. The whole event is made up of rides, arts, crafts, games and local vendors. There is also live entertainment for kids and adults of all ages throughout the weekend. The mission of the group is to provide a basis for non-profit organizations to help raise money and awareness for their causes in Matthews and surrounding communities. The best part is 100% of ALL proceeds go back to the local orgizations. What better way to celebrate Labor Day weekend than at Matthews Alive and help out local non profit orginzations at the same time.
The event kicks off tonight at 6:30p.m. and runs to 5:00p.m. on Labor day. Tomorrow, there is a parade through downtown. It has grown over the past 17 years to be the largest Labor Day parade in the southeast. Schools, bands, and orginzations from all over Charlotte and surrounding communities come out to particpate in it. If you get the opportunity to go I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
