CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Markets at 11, a spring event series, has returned to Ballantyne’s Backyard on second Saturdays of each month until June, according to Northwood Office.
The signature event series will take place on April 9, May 14 and June 11 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the community park located on the former golf course in Ballantyne.
Markets at 11 is an open-air market series featuring over 70 small business vendors, local artisans, outdoor yoga, live music, food trucks, pop-up breweries and other family-friendly activities.
In 2021, the series drew over 70,000 attendees and supported more than 400 local small businesses, according to release.
“After last year’s success, we are excited to bring back Markets at 11 and host Charlotte’s local businesses, musicians, artists and eateries,” said Hailey Rorie, director of community relations for Northwood Office. “This event series is one of many taking place in Ballantyne’s Backyard this year, and we look forward to creating unique and memorable experiences for our community to engage in.”
Ballantyne’s Backyard features over 100 acres of green space with miles of running and walking trails, rolling hills, flat greens and fishing ponds. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs, games and their dogs to enjoy a day at the park during the event.
