The Outside Adventure Village
Kicks off a five-week, 23-city tour in Charlotte, North Carolina, as part of the Jeep World Outside Festival. Spend the day learning to eskimo roll in a 30,000-gallon kayak tank or watching freestyle skiers launch off a 30-foot jump. Then grab a seat and a cold one as Sheryl Crow, Train, Ziggy Marley, and O.A.R. take the stage. www.jeepworldoutsidefestival.com
