When? Thursday, April 27, 6-9 p.m.
Where? Charlotte Museum of History, 2500 Shamrock Drive, Charlotte
What? Come celebrate this year’s winners of The Ledger’s 40 Over 40 Awards — people aged 40+ who are making a big difference in our community — with a lively and definitely not stuffy party with a 1980s movie theme. Food, drinks, entertainment, costume contest, concert ticket giveaways and a few surprises.
How much? $95. ($85 for Ledger members with offer code here.)
What your ticket includes:
Food stations from the Charlotte company behind Mama Ricotta’s, Yafo Kitchen and Paco’s Tacos & Tequila (Plate Perfect Catering)
Open bar (beer and wine)
DJ pumpin’ out totally awesome ’80s tunes
Entertainment
Entry to the museum’s first-floor exhibits — including “Charlotte: Signs of Home,” which features iconic Charlotte signs from decades past that once adorned Dilworth, Plaza-Midwood, uptown, Oakhurst and east Charlotte. (We’ve arranged for the curator of the Charlotte signs exhibit, Christopher Lawing, to be on hand to talk about the signs and his Charlotte Signs Project.)
◼️ No tickets will be available for sale at the door — don’t delay, get them today!
This is no snooze-fest in a hotel ballroom — that’s not how we roll. This is a fun and dynamic celebration, with a costume contest and lively entertainment, in a spot that is distinctively Charlotte. (And there is plenty of free parking.)
