Playtime for Grown-Ups: A Day of Fun in Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Sometimes, adulting can feel like a juggling act, with work, school activities, and endless responsibilities piling up. Just thinking about it can be enough to make anyone feel overwhelmed. Have you ever wished to rekindle that childhood magic of play dates? Well, it’s your lucky day! On Saturday, November 2nd, you can let your inner child run free at the Adults-Only Play Day in Charlotte.
The Fun Unfolds
Sally Stokes, the owner of Play More Charlotte, along with Lakhiyia Hicks from HOMEplxce Consulting & Retreats, and Jasmine Vializ of Dancing Lotus Yoga + Arts, are teaming up for a magical event designed just for us grown-ups. “The Adults-Only Play Day is all about relieving the stress from adulting and enjoying precious time spent being a kid again,” explains Stokes. Doesn’t that sound delightful?
Rediscovering Joy
As adults, many of us tend to forget the simple joy of play amidst our daily chaos. We often feel constrained by social expectations of what joy should look like. But here’s a chance to toss those worries aside, literally! Imagine diving into a colorful pit filled with plastic balls, tossing them back and forth with friends, or simply lounging in joyous abandon.
Releasing Responsibilities
Hicks believes that this event is more about embracing the inner child lurking within our 18+ bodies than anything else. “We’re curating an opportunity with Play More Charlotte for adults to release the responsibilities of ‘being a grown-up’ for the morning,” she adds. It’s a space for adults to reclaim a sense of ease and joy in their lives, while finding a diverse and inclusive community of like-minded souls who also wish to prioritize their happiness.
Activities Galore!
So, what can you expect from this day of play? According to Vializ, Play More Charlotte has lined up an assortment of activities that are bustling with joy and creativity. Picture having fun with parachute games, diving into a selfie booth featuring a ball pit, and even challenging your friends to a round of Extreme Rock/Paper/Scissors! There will also be bubble blasters, coloring books, a fort-building station, and even stomp rocket relays to keep those playful vibes flowing.
But that’s not all! Dancing Lotus Yoga + Arts will host a silent disco musical chairs station that is sure to get everyone moving and grooving. And if that isn’t enough, HOMEplxce Consulting & Retreats will transform part of the venue into a mini-inner child healing sanctuary, where guests can unwind and rejuvenate.
Bringing the Party
The fun doesn’t stop there; a host of local partners is joining in on the merriment! CLTFREESKATE will provide a unique roller-skating setup, while DJ Code: Savi will keep the tunes flowing throughout the day. Guests can also enjoy activities like puddle-painting from Tuxedo Kat Imaginarium, as well as an array of exciting games provided by Game Show Battle Rooms and Potions & Pixels.
Plus, for a truly playful twist, the Dino DoGooders will be on hand, adorned in vibrant inflatable costumes! Want some creative flair? There will be playful art vendors and fairy hair vendors roaring with creativity, not to mention food and beverage options that will tantalize your taste buds.
