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.
