Comet Sunshine Arts Festival

When: Sun., Aug. 16, 12-6 p.m. 2015

These shenanigans at Comet Grill are slated to feature 30 artists and performers. Browse arts and crafts by painters, glass blowers, jewelers and more. There’s also live music and sets from aerialists and fire dancers. If you’re a sucker for animals, watch out though. The Charlotte Humane Society will be onsite with adoptable animals and a kissing booth and dunk tank to benefit local charities.
