This free festival will close down Camden Road for a day in celebration of women
No Man's Land, a street festival celebrating women and women-owned businesses, will take over Camden Road in South End Saturday, March 22. 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.
