Special event in Charlotte (2/21/2026)

 Petanque America hosted a mini-tournament for a convention of chefs. Marc and Michel sent this to invite people to attend:

We are excited to announce...

Carolina Pétanque is hosting “Introduction to Pétanque” at The Olde Mecklenburg Restaurant & Biergarten at Ballantyne (OMB) in the south Charlotte area on Saturday Feb. 21st from 11 am – 3:00 pm. 

This is a beautiful brewery which typically has a large turnout on Saturdays. The patio area is graveled and perfect for playing pétanque. A great location to spread the word about our addictive sport while also having a fun afternoon outdoors... and possibly a few beers to boot.

There will be 8 to 10 courts set up for the afternoon this coming Saturday. Carolina Pétanque players are welcome to come out and support the introduction by playing games amongst themselves and assisting in creating a welcoming pétanque environment. Our trainers will be teaching the game throughout the afternoon to OMB patrons.

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday,

Marc
