Imagine the excitement of CharlOz 2024 together with all the Oz Club fun and camaraderie you know and love… and now imagine that’s coming true! We are THRILLED to be a part of a citywide celebration of Oz—a dream for all of us! Remember, to be a part of the larger CharlOz event, you will also need to complete the separate CharlOz registration. Many CharlOz events are free to the public but will require registration and tickets. CharlOz planners will be contacting all registrants closer to the event dates about reserving tickets for various events.
From our centrally-located hotel, we are steps away from CharlOz events on Thursday evening as well as events throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. Friday events will take us away from central Charlotte, but Club convention registration fees include the cost of a 24-hour light rail pass.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Charlotte City Center is our convention hotel and location for the Oz Club programming and gala dinner! A special group rate is available per night if booked by August 26 for the dates September 27-29, 2024. Make sure to mention that you are part of the Oz Club/CharlOz group on the phone or use promotion code WOZ online for the special rate.
Hotel Front Desk: 704-335-5400, Monday through Friday, 8am-4pm.

Your convention registration fee gives you Dorothy’s Adventurer Pass, which combines CharlOz public activities with the exclusive Club convention programming and will make the experience of CharlOz a memory to treasure forever! To make this as easy as possible, we’re also offering the option to select—a la carte—exactly what you want to make your experience at CharlOz exactly the way you want it!
With Dorothy’s Adventurer’s Pass, you know you have the best deal out there. You’ll have the convenience of prepaid transport on Charlotte’s LYNX light rail; a ticket for a showing of MGM’s Wizard of Oz live with classic score; enjoy a rooftop gala dinner with all your Oz Club friends, new and old; bid on amazing Ozzy treasures at the annual Oz Club auction; receive a fee-free gift card to many of Charlotte’s most-delicious restaurants and coolest spots; and enjoy Oz Club programming, including special guests Randy Schmidt (2024’s Mysteries of Oz documentary) and Michael Raabe (2023’s Oz: The New Musical)! And, as we get closer to the big day, we’ll be sharing more information about options for meals and other fun activities for when you’re in town as well as some surprise special guests for our rooftop gala dinner!
Please note: As of Monday, September 16, registration for the gala dinner has closed. As of Wednesday, September 18, registration for the symphony performance, light rail pass, and gift cards is closed.
Finally, to make this event a little extra special, we have two fabulous clothing options: t-shirts as well as limited-edition hoodies! These will only be created for the 2024 convention in Charlotte, the Queen City, and we think you’ll love having a wearable memory of one of the Ozziest weekends ever!
Can’t wait to see you in Charlotte, and to keep up with the latest news, make sure to check us out on Facebook and on Instagram!
