Today we’re talking about Breakaway Music Festival Spring edition in Charlotte, North Carolina from May 5-6.
This is easily one of our favorite touring festivals to go to to see a lineup of popular and emerging artists in hip-hop, electronic dance music (EDM), pop, and rock.
Really, we could follow Breakaway around all year long.
And since Breakaway is soon, we’re chatting about how to make this trip, any trip really, even more memorable.
Festivals – you get to have incredible moments while doing things you wouldn’t get to experience in everyday life with the people who get you on a whole other level. Right?
With that said, let’s get into the 3 easiest ways to make this festival trip the trip of a lifetime for you and your crew.
3 Easy Ways To Pack In More To Your Trip
#1 Book Your Hotel Ahead Of Time And Pay Later
The PERFECT way to take the stress away from booking your hotel is by finding a more secure and flexible way to pay for your hotel stay.
Seriously, it’s 2023. No more having to fork out all your cash in one go.
We offer a secure and smooth way to pay over time and stay with one of our partner hotels. To check out our Crewfare Breakaway partner hotels, go here.
#2 Extend Your Stay
Stay a couple of extra days to explore the city.
Sure the festival is the highlight and why you’re traveling in the first place. But when you’re in a different place, it’s definitely a reason to extend your stay and explore as much as you can.
I mean, there’s the festival and then there’s the behind-the-scenes of your entire stay before and after the festival.
Part of the fun of travel is getting to try the best the city has to offer. For Charlotte, here are the deets on where to eat.
If you like sports, Charlotte is the home of the NASCAR Hall of Fame and is also the site of the Charlotte Motor Speedway. It also is home to the Charlotte Hornets (NBA) and the Carolina Panthers (NFL).
Or if that’s not your thing, check out the NoDa neighborhood, Charlotte’s art and entertainment district. Find out more about what to do in this area here.
#3 Try Doing Something New
Try new food, or learn a new skill (sign up for a local class). This travel habit helps you stay curious and engaged and you’ll be creating meaningful experiences that stay with you for a lifetime.
Looking for suggestions? If sampling craft beer is a new experience, Charlotte is known for its craft beer scene. Learn more here or follow the NoDa craft beer trail here. Or plan an excursion to the world’s premier outdoor center – U.S. National Whitewater Center.
