This free festival will close down Camden Road for a day in celebration of women
Why it matters: It's an all-day event for women to connect, support and celebrate with one another, fittingly during Women's History Month.
What to expect: The free, outdoor festival will close Camden Road for the day and showcase over 80 women-owned businesses to shop from.
It'll also host creative workshops like button-making, writing love letters to your future self and additional classes hosted by SkillPop.
There'll be breakout sessions and networking opportunities.
You can participate in activations like a digital scavenger hunt with prizes like Mood House massages.
DJs will play all-women artists and there'll be a hip hop line dancing class.
The vibe: It'll be a high-energy, judgement-free celebration that's open to all, says Jordan Dollard, founder of Esther & Elsa, the Charlotte event company behind No Man's Land.
" If you love women and want a reason to celebrate them, this is the event for you," she says.
Zoom in: At its core, No Man's Land is designed to support women entrepreneurs.
Some of this year's retailers include Honeybear Bake Shop, Kicks & Fros, Two Chicks Candles, and charm bar 11 and Thoms.
Food vendors will also be mostly women-owned, like A Shot of Flava, a dessert truck whose menu includes the viral Dubai Strawberry Cup.
Between the lines: Esther & Elsa is also behind some of the city's most popular vendor markets, like Front Porch Sundays and Nebel's Alley Night Market.
No Man's Land inaugural festival was last year inside the Ford Building at Camp North End.
The big picture: Camden Road doesn't shut down often — typically only for Charlotte Center City Partners' Camden Commons and Shop Small Saturdays, which Esther & Elsa has also helped produce.
If you go: No Man's Land will run 11am-5pm along the 1900 block of Camden Road in South End.
General admission is free and ticketless.
VIP tickets are available for $50. They include guaranteed access to activations before 2pm and a swag bag.
What's next: Front Porch Sundays will return to Atherton Mill Sunday, April 6.
Nebel's Alley Night Market will kick off Saturday, April 12.

Watch: Will Forte inhabits 'Haunted Hotel' in Netflix animated comedy
Netflix is previewing "Haunted Hotel," which arrives on the streamer Sept. 19. Photo courtesy of Netflix Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Will Forte inhabits a haunted hotel run by his estranged sister in Haunted Hotel, an animated comedy arriving on the streamer Sept. 19. Katherine (Eliza Coupe) is a single mother helming the ghostly inn Undervale. "Luckily, she has some help from her estranged brother... who is now one of the ghosts and thinks his fellow phantoms have some pretty good ideas," an official synopsis reads. A preview released Monday shows Katherine's son (Skyler Gisondo) on the phone while his sister Esther (Natalie Palamides) is possessed by a demonic entity. "Mom, was Esther baptized?" he asks. "No!" Katherine responds in a huff. The voice cast also includes Jimmi Simpson. Matt Roller, well known for his work on Rick and Morty and Archer, is the creator behind the series. 50 years of 'Saturday Night Live' Dan Aykroyd (L) and Bill Murray arrive on the red carpet at the premiere of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" in New York City on November 15, 2021. Aykroyd was an original cast member when "SNL" premiered in 1975. Aykroyd stayed on until 1979, while Murray was a part of the show from 1977 to 1980. Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo

Disneyland Offering Limited Time Freebie Experience in Hidden Gem Attraction
Disney California Adventure is about to be home to a limited time freebie experience. This is an update to an earlier version of this article that incorrectly reported that a now closed part of this space would be used for this offering. All of the details on what is coming to Disney California Adventure and the location for this new offering are below. READ MORE – There is no better feeling than walking up to the gates with the Halloween decor about to start your Disney day! Disneyland Bringing New Offering to Animation Building Space Starting August 29, while supplies last, there will be a Disney Lorcana Collection Quest activation in Sorcerer's Workshop inside the Animation Building at Disney California Adventure. Disney Lorcana is a trading card game where players ("Illumineers") use six types of magical ink to summon versions of Disney characters ("Glimmers"). The game involves collecting cards, building decks, and strategically playing against opponents. During the Disney Lorcana Collection Quest activation this summer, guests will receive a free Disney Lorcana booster pack, and they will interact with other guests to find and trade cards. This activity will be free to all guests in the park. After they complete their quest, they will receive a Belle, Accomplished Mystic card. This card is the first of a new type of "Magical Places" promo card, signified by a castle turret symbol, which is exclusive to select Disney-owned and operated locations. The experience is being offered inside the Sorcerer's Workshop, which is part of the Animation Building experience. Here you can learn to draw a favorite Disney character, meet Anna and Elsa from Frozen, check out Turtle Talk With Crush, or learn to draw in the Sorcerer's Workshop. You should also generally check out the lobby, seen above, to experience some amazing film clips and raw animation from the Disney movies. This is a great place to escape the summer heat. We previously inaccurately shared a report that this new Lorcana offering would take place in the now closed Beast's Library in the Animation Building. We can now report that the Beast's Library space will NOT be used as part of this offering. The Beast's Library in the Animation Building used to be a space where guests could sit and take a quiz to see which Disney character they were. The room would occasionally shift in atmosphere, with lighting changes and other effects that made the space come alive. This was one of our favorite hidden gem experiences in the park to escape from the crowds, and we were sad to see it close. The experience closed back in December 2023 to become the new home of Disney Imagination Campus, which was moved from Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar to make way for the new Disney Vacation Club Welcome Center. READ MORE – There is no better feeling than walking up to the gates with the Halloween decor about to start your Disney day! The details on this trading quest were first reported by @inkbornheroes on Instagram, though we have now confirmed that the event will not take place in the Beast's Library but in the general Sorcerer's Workshop. There is an easy confusion here as the Beast's Library was at one point the next room after the Sorcerer's Workshop. This article has been updated with new information. Previously, we reported that the Beast's Library attraction would be used as the space for this limited time experience.

Book Review: Grief is profound, painful and personal in this debut novel from J.B. Hwang
'Mendell Station' is Korean American writer J.B. Hwang's first novel. And it is all about death — its horror, finality and mystery, and, most of all, how those who knew and loved that person must cope. Miriam, the main character, who is a Korean American postal worker living in San Francisco, learns that her best friend, Esther, was found dead, having fallen two stories onto the train tracks at Van Ness station.
