It’s daylight saving time. At 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, clocks will jump forward to 3 a.m., meaning we’ll lose an hour of sleep, but gain brighter evenings for the next several months. If the time change has you feeling off, here are a few ways to make the most of those longer evenings around Charlotte.
🌇 Take advantage of golden hour
The Queen City has a skyline worth bragging about — capture the sunset for the gram or for your phone’s background.
⏰ Reset your routine
If the lost sleep hits hard, consider an early evening coffee run at any of our buzzing coffee shops or relax your body with a self-care session.
🎶 Catch live music after work
With daylight stretching later, concerts and outdoor shows feel even better. Many of Charlotte’s venues have long setlists to amp up this spring.
🌳 Enjoy the great outdoors
Admire the spring foliage, get your steps in on the greenway, or plan a picnic at any of Charlotte’s parks.
🗓️ Attend a local event
Every month, we update our Plan Ahead with a variety of events happening in and around Charlotte every single day, no matter when the sun sets.
