“The Midnight Marathon isn’t just a fundraiser; it’s a celebration of Charlotte’s thriving cultural ecosystem, showcasing the talent that makes our city a regional arts powerhouse,” says Adam Santalla-Pierce, ASC President.

Designed as a dedicated celebration of Charlotte’s creative community, the Midnight Marathon brings together artists, art lovers, and community builders in one space for an unforgettable night of connection and discovery. Performers like Dru Billions, Maggie Lowe, Hannah Hasan, Planet Improv, Rasmus, and comedian Jeremy Kinser will take the stage among dozens of other incredible local talents.

Attendees can grab a bite from popular local food trucks, enjoy drinks with their event ticket, and mix and mingle with fellow Queen City locals—all while experiencing the nonstop performances fueling the future of the arts in Charlotte.

“ASC’s Midnight Marathon is a true testament to the power of the arts in building community,” says Erin Wilson, ASC Vice President of Philanthropy. “We’re creating a space where ASC grantees and creative partners can thrive, where audiences can discover new talent, and where we collectively celebrate the impact of arts and culture on our city.”

Below is the full performance artist lineup for ASC’s Midnight Marathon; note that a performance beak will occur from 8-9pm, with museum, bar, and food truck access remaining open.
