Last Weekend Tonight: NoDa Music Fest and Funky Good Time (Video)


My weekend started with the Charlotte Lesbian and Gay Fund's Funky Good Time at the Mint Museum. After a cocktail reception, partiers danced the night away to their favorite grooves on the middle levels of the Mint. On Saturday, the party continued in NoDa at the NoDa Music Festival. The event featured a collection of bands from the region and elsewhere playing originals and cover tunes. I caught the festival on a Saturday night, which drew a relatively light but fun crowd.
