New Waxhaw Events Coming in 2019 MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Mark your calendar for three new and improved events coming to the Town of Waxhaw in 2019. This spring, Waxhaw’s annual Kaleidoscope Fest will become a music, food, and arts festival filling our downtown streets with local vendors. Perfect for a date night or a parents’ evening out, you can expect multiple food and drink tasting stations. There will also be live music, homemade crafts, entertainment, and art demonstrations. This event is scheduled for Saturday, May 18th. For a fun, family night out, Waxhaw will be hosting two evenings with Movies Under the Water Tower. On April 5th and November 1st, family friendly movies will be played under Waxhaw’s signature water tower on a big screen for all to see. There will be food trucks and concessions as well as backyard family games and activities to enjoy before the movie begins. Parks & Recreation is also partnering with the Waxhaw Police Department to introduce Blue Light Skate After Dark, an event focused on building community and promoting skate safety. This open skate event will be family friendly and includes a competition with prizes, music, food trucks and lots of fun! Blue Light Skate After Dark will be held April 5th from 7-10:30pm. We will post a reminder with specific times and details closer to the events.
