Matthews Alive Labor Day Festival 2013----Matthews, NC.

Looking for something fun to do this labor day weekend? Come to Matthews, NC. for the annual Matthews Alive festival held every year during Labor Day weekend. This year the event starts on Friday August 30, 2013 and ends on Monday September 2, 2013. This is a great fun filled family attraction. In the nine years I have lived in Matthews, NC.; a year has not gone by that I have not visited Matthews Alive. Each day and night there are different bands and musicians playing on one of the three stages they have set up catering to different tastes of music throughout the weekend. There are carnival rides and games for the kids ( and kids at heart). Large arts and craft show, various food vendors and other family oriented events. Do not miss the parade on Saturday morning. This is the LARGEST Labor Day parade in the Southeast ( who would think a small town like Matthews NC would be such a large attraction for labor Day?). It starts at 10:a.m. SHARP. Come see the various bands from area high schools, floats and organizations throughout Charlotte area for this great event. Come by on Labor Day and see the classic car show held in front of the Town hall/Library. it is held in the morning and is a great place to spend soem time if you enjoy antique cars and collectible cars. The part that attracts me most to go to Matthews Alive (besides the great fun and memories it brings) is that 100% of all the profits are given back to the local charities and organizations in the community....This is a fundraiser but not one for the town of Matthews...but one for the local charities in Matthews and the surrounding area that help out families...it makes it even more worthwhile knowing I not only get to have fun; but my money is going to worthy causes.... I hope to see you all there this weekend...I know you will not be disappointed.....They are always adding new attractions along the way and the parade seems to grow every year. Last year the parade lasted over an hour and it is expected ot be as long if not longer this year http://matthewsalive.org Dave diCecco Realtor/Broker Coldwell Banker United www.davedicecco.com
