Spring in Ballantyne tends to come with a full calendar, and the next few weeks are no exception. Whether you're a business owner looking to build relationships in the community or a resident who likes knowing the people behind the storefronts, here are three events worth putting on your schedule.

Tonight: Monthly Partner Meetup at AC Hotel Ballantyne

The STROLL team hosts a casual networking meetup on the third Wednesday of every month at the AC Hotel Ballantyne Lobby Bar. Tonight's gathering runs from 5:00 to 6:30 PM — no agenda, no presentations, just a chance to connect with neighbors and local business owners over a drink. These meetups happen monthly, so if tonight doesn't work, the next one is Wednesday, May 20.

April 23: Beauty Event at The Modern Aesthetic

On Thursday, April 23, The Modern Aesthetic at 7940 Williams Pond Lane, Suite #250, is hosting an evening of music, wine, and all things beauty from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Expect beauty tips, treatments, exclusive offerings, and a room full of Ballantyne residents and business owners in a relaxed, social setting. If you've been meaning to check out The Modern Aesthetic, this is a good reason to finally go.

RSVP for the Beauty Event here.

May 28: Annual Sip & Stroll at Ballantyne Country Club

This is the big one. The annual Sip & Stroll returns to the Event Lawn at Ballantyne Country Club on Thursday, May 28, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Live music, local businesses, raffles, and the kind of evening that reminds you why you moved to this neighborhood.

For businesses: Vendor tables are complimentary — one table and one chair, no cost to participate. Space is limited, so if you'd like to be part of it, request your spot early.

Request a vendor table here.

You're also welcome to attend without a table and simply come mingle and network.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for businesses looking for more visibility. Benefits include a branded tent, prominent table placement, inclusion in the event raffle, and logo placement across event promotion and editorial coverage. You can indicate your interest on the registration form.
