Waxhaw’s Kaleidoscope Festival took over downtown on May 19th & 20th, 2018. It brought local artisans, food trucks, local businesses, and crowds to downtown Waxhaw for two beautiful days of fun, music, and art. Expected turnout was 10,000 people and Main Street was closed to traffic in order to accommodate the crowds and artisans. Shuttles ran to offsite parking and local businesses remained open all weekend.
