Β CHARLOTTE, NC — There will be major traffic delays in parts of East Charlotte Saturday, thanks in part to the Annual Southern Christmas show at the Park Expo. Β Traffic will back up on Independence Boulevard as people try to find parking.

Spaces will be limited, because nearly 6,000 people are expected at a women’s conference across the street at Bojangles Coliseum. Β But the traffic trouble is not stopping people form getting a jump start on the holidays.

“Everything that has to do with Christmas and those wonderful memories are right here at the show,” said Southern Shows CEO Joan Zimmerman. Β “If you can walk into this show and leave without the spirit of Christmas, you have to be a real Grinch.”

The Southern Christmas Show runs through November 23. Β You can find more information here.
