The Matthews NC Lifestyle
If you are looking for a small town with access to big city
amenities, check out Matthews
North Carolina. With approximately 27,000 residents and located at
Charlotte’s doorstep, Matthews retains its friendly small town feeling. The
quaint downtown with its historic buildings is the hub of the Matthews
lifestyle. Here you’ll find the library, a farmers market, shops and
restaurants. Stumptown Park in the heart of downtown Matthews provides a place
where town events and festivals can take place. The entrance to a two-mile
greenway through some Matthews neighborhoods is found in downtown Matthews.
Nothing exemplifies the Matthews lifestyle more than the Matthews
Alive Festival every Labor Day weekend. This is the weekend when over
200,000 people visit this small town to enjoy the wholesome family fun that we
all remember from our childhoods. An old-fashioned parade, carnival rides and
games, musical entertainment, an arts and crafts show and a classic car show are
all part of the festival.
Enjoy this video of scenes from the 2011 Matthews Alive
Festival. The video is posted as an attachment below.
