5 Fun Things To Do This Weekend In Lake Norman: Oct. 27-29

Halloween is right around the corner, which means there’s no shortage of fun and spooky activities this weekend. If you’re looking for something fun this weekend, Patch has you covered.

As you plan your weekend, you’re going to want to keep your eye on the weather. While it’s been a gorgeous week in the Queen City region, conditions are set to get soggy Saturday, when there’s an 80 percent chance of rain. Rain will move out by early Sunday, just in time for you to put away your umbrella and find a sweater.
