About Matthews Alive Festival Attendees
Every year, Matthews Alive expects 150,000 attendees at the Labor Day weekend festival. These attendees live, work, and play in communities throughout the greater Matthews, and Charlotte, region. Our audience is largely regional, but studies have shown attendees from stats representing the entire Southeast, and as far reaching as Ohio.
Our demographic is best described as the young family with disposable income, who are focused on health and healthcare, home improvement, travel, and have large social networks.
A family event that brings attendees back, year after year, generation after generation, we look forward to welcoming your organization as a Sponsor for this year’s festival!
