There are two components of BOOM Charlotte:
- BOOM Fringe: Original edgy/experimental art performed in intimate settings. It features ticketed performances created by the presenting artists in several small venues.
- BOOM Intersection: Features a broad range of art performed on a central stage, plus interactive installations and activities—all free and open to the public. The Intersection is the epicenter of the festival. It becomes a location for artists, audiences, and community members to come together and enjoy live art in an outdoor living room.
In general, all the outside art experiences are free to enjoy, and tickets are required for the inside art experiences. All the venues will be close to each other so you can move between them easily.
Individual tickets are $13, or you can purchase a pass for $50 that’s good for five performances. Purchase tickets here.
BOOM allows for easy flow between Fringe and Intersection. The goal is encouraging people to explore the arts in a single walkable setting. BOOM was started by a group of Charlotte artists in 2016.
The BOOM festival quickly became one of Charlotte’s largest, most diverse, multidisciplinary creative gatherings.
It became Charlotte’s creative ecosystem’s unique coming together, featuring all mediums, from chalk art to classical music, from aerial dance to slam poetry.
