Marilyn Monroe once said “Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.”  Visit Gay Charlotte has no idea if that is true, but we thank the Gay Charlotte Film Festival for bringing us a plethora of onscreen LGBT  kisses, loving, heartbreak and drama to Charlotte.  The Festival runs from Thursday to Sunday and all films and events are highlighted in the right hand column.  

 Of course, the Queen City is exploding with events both on screen and off and we present a weekend with so much to do that  we dare you to be alone in the dark (unless of course you like that kind of thing…)

Ready. Set. ACTION! It’s the Visit Gay Charlotte Featured Weekend Agenda!

Thursday, April 24th

In addition to tonight’s opening festivities for the Gay Charlotte Film Festival, there is a lot going on in the Queen City.  First up Join One Voice Chorus for its Third Annual OVC Karaoke Contest at Sidelines Sports Bar.  Cover  will be donated to the Chorus to support the choir attending the 2016 GALA.

Local fave underground party, SHIPROCKED! has long been home to some of the most unique, creative and outrageous performers in the Queen Cit , and is the home stomping grounds of two of this decade’s most notorious and original Charlotte drag superstars, Lilith DeVille and Bethann Phetamine. Tonight celebrates that in style with their  DRAG FREAK-A-THON…LIPGLOSS!

Also tonight, Double Trouble Productions presents a evening where you will be schooled in fun: College Night at The Nickel Bar. Plan your weekend activties with friends and make some new ones.
