Meet the Team
At Charlotte WestieFest, our goal is to create a swing experience to remember!
Each year, we feature our “Carolina-based” Team members, our “Regional” Team members, and feature a select group of fan-favorite guest staff members from across the US!
Our Deejays play the very best competition, bumper and social dancing music — all weekend long.
And the Emcees entertain and keep attendees informed throughout the entire event.
Presenting…. our 2024 CWF lineup!
