J-C-S-U Golden Bulls & U-N-C-C 49ers!! Are y’all ready?! It’s homecoming weekend here in the Queen City for both JCSU and UNCC!! Charlotte will be full of alumni returning for all the festivities! The weather is not projected to be as pleasant as last weekend with warm rain all day Saturday. Not so great for the homecoming football games taking place on Saturday. The weather for Sunday will be cooler temperatures in the 60’s minus the rain. Take an umbrella and jacket with you when you go out this weekend! We are continuing to celebrate several big events and topics this month surrounding Breast Cancer Awareness, LBGTQ+ History, Hispanic Heritage, Halloween, and so much more. The NC State Fair kicks off this weekend in Raleigh. Charlotte Checkers also kick off their season with hockey games on Friday and Saturday. Other activities this weekend include: homecoming parties, Taste of Birkdale Village, art and music festivals, brunches, other local festivals, Halloween parties, outdoor movies, bar crawls fundraising events, cancer awareness events, live musical events & plays, and so much more!
