About this adventure

The Charlotte Symphony's Holiday Pops at the Belk Theater is one of the Queen City's most anticipated musical holiday traditions. Conducted live with the full symphony orchestra and the Charlotte Master Chorale, this joyful concert features timeless holiday orchestral works, beloved Christmas carols, spirited Broadway seasonal favorites, audience sing-alongs, and an appearance by Santa Claus. A dedicated 60-minute Family Holiday Matinee on Saturday morning is specially curated for families with young children, featuring modified stage lighting, relaxed theater etiquette allowing quiet movement and talking, and a post-concert lobby instrument petting zoo where kids can meet symphony musicians. Belk Theater is fully ADA compliant with elevator access to all seating tiers. The theater provides complimentary booster seats on a first-come basis and has dedicated quiet rooms in the rear of the orchestra level with audio feeds for children who need a break. Coat check attendants can securely store folding strollers during the performance. Family restrooms with diaper-changing stations are situated on the orchestra and grand tier levels.
