- exhibits at the Projective Eye Gallery (at The Dubois Center at UNC Charlotte Center City) and the Popp Martin Student Union on campus
- gaming and virtual reality experiences, hands-on creative opportunities, and discussions led by Oz experts from around the country at UNC Charlotte’s J. Murrey Atkins Library
- author talks and family activities at ImaginOn in Uptown
- vendors at The Market at 7th Street on Saturday and Sunday

We’re off to see the symphony! As part of UNC Charlotte’s CharlOz Festival, the Charlotte Symphony delivers a sweeping orchestral backing to this beloved 1939 film which follows the story of a young farm girl as she follows the Yellow Brick Road to Oz and confronts the Wicked Witch of the West.
