Auston Woods Apartment Homes Blog

Living in an apartment in Charlotte, NC, you certainly know how much this town can be. But October brings with it a special kind of fun only Halloween and Oktoberfest can bring. Auston Woods Apartments wants you to enjoy October, here are some events around town from Charlottesgotalot.com:

Running through October 30, SCarowinds unleashes more than 400 creepy creatures, zombies and beasts just in time for Halloween.  Eleven nightmarish mazes and fright zones keep you on your toes, while two live spirited shows will have you screaming your heart out.  For the wee ones, the park hosts Kids' Howl-o-Fest by day on weekends with Boo Blast activities ranging from the Mumpkin Patch to Trick-or-Treat Spots to a Foam Pit Zone.

Relax with a cold one at Charlotte's hometown brewery during Mecktober Fest at Olde Mecklenburg Brewery in October. Bands, food, and beer bring this German-style festival to life for the third annual year in South End.  Then, one of this month's hottest tickets returns to Metrolina Tradeshow Expo October 8.  Charlotte Oktoberfest taps will be flowing with more than 350 craft brewed beers from across the Southeast and around the world.

Both maddening and mesmerizing all at the same time, the Amazing Maize Maze at Historic Rural Hill sends you on an outdoor adventure in an intricate seven-acre labyrinth of corn.  This year's fitness theme is the key to the kernels of knowledge and map pieces that will guide you to the finish line.  Meanwhile, ghost tours by Carolina History & Haunts and Charlotte NC Tours guide you through Center City's supernatural sights.  New this year, Charlotte NC Tours offers haunted segway and bicycle rides.

The Time Warner Cable BBQ & Blues event will be taking place this Friday from 11:AM to 11:PM.  There will be enough Blues music, Beer and BBQ for everyone in Center City Charlotte on Friday.  Most of the Blues musicians will perform on the 300 South Tryon main stage.  There will be so many other things to participate in all day long as well, like the Breyers Ice Cream sampling and Bud 55 Select Beer Balloon, which really sounds so funny.  A Beer Balloon, really?

Blues, Beer and BBQ

One of the things I like about this Friday Time Warner Cable BBQ & Blues event is that whether you drink beer or not you’ll enjoy it.  Plus it’s an all day event so it doesn’t matter what time you go to work you can make it out.  You could even sleep in and stay at Auston Woods Apartments all day long, then once you decided to finally go outside you would still have some Blues, BBQ and good music.  We do strongly advise not being lazy all day but we are advocates of rest.  That’s just a little FYI, take it in strides.
