Entertainers and visitors interact beside the Firebird statue outside the Bechtler Museum. Thousands of people came downtown during the Wells Fargo Community Celebration, held October 29, 2011 in downtown Charlotte NC. The daylong festival took place in the streets, in public atriums and in downtown museums, which offered free admission all day long. Wells Fargo, which this month completed its conversion from Wachovia, picked up the bill.
