Camp North End: Thanksgiving Weekend Holiday Mistletoe Market & Family Stroll (Charlotte)

About this adventure

Once a historic Model T Ford assembly plant and WWII munitions depot, Camp North End has been reimagined as a vibrant 76-acre hub of art, community, and innovation just minutes from Uptown. Over Thanksgiving weekend, the site kicks off its annual Mistletoe Market and family festival, featuring open-air vendor stalls with local handmade crafts, cheerful photo-ops with oversized festive decor, outdoor fire pits with s'mores kits, and sprawling pedestrian breezeways. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Pedestrian-only district paved with flat, smooth concrete and asphalt breezeways with zero curbs; one of the easiest walking environments in Charlotte for double strollers. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Modern, clean family restrooms with changing stations inside the Boileryard and Mount districts; numerous colorful outdoor lounge areas with swings and hammocks. • Age Suitability: Welcoming to infants, toddlers, kids, and grandparents; oversized outdoor board games and open-ended play spaces keep kids happily engaged. • Sensory Tips: Large, open-air campus with plenty of space to spread out; families seeking a quiet experience can relax near the landscaped rain gardens and quieter mural corridors.
