Charlotte’s Got a Lot. With a slogan like that, you’d be right to expect a city full of endless adventure for the whole family. And with as much history, arts and culture, and big-city life (hello, EPICENTRE!) as it has outdoor fun and world-class sports (Go Panthers!), the Queen City certainly delivers.

Not to mention there are so many festivals that showcase Charlotte’s confections and culture, that if you miss one, it won’t be long before another dazzles the crowd. From Festival Latinoamericano to the Yiasou Greek Festival, the Downtown Davidson Fall Arts Festival to Festival in the Park (to name a few), you won’t be hard-pressed to find tent-lined streets sporting a variety of fare.

Before you grab a bottle of Cheerwine and settle into your new home, make sure it’s outfitted with a quality home security system that can watch over your property even when you can’t. With more than a century of experience, ADT brings industry-leading response times accompanying its 24/7 monitoring of home security equipment.

Now that your new place has ADT support, head for a weekend trip to the white sand and boardwalks of Myrtle Beach. Want to play in the water but don’t want to take a trip all the way to the coast? Head to Lake Norman, just an hour away, for some freshwater fun. Whether you’ve recently moved to NoDa or South End, you can be sure there’s something to fit your fancy in Charlotte.
