Waxhaw Daily: Weekend Events and Voting Prep — February 7, 2026

Today in Waxhaw

From pet adoptions and classic cars to getting ready for primary voting, there is plenty happening around Waxhaw this weekend.

Pet adoption event at Waxhaw Taphouse

A local rescue group is bringing more than a dozen puppies and dogs to an adoption event at Waxhaw Taphouse this afternoon. The event runs from 1 p.m. to mid-afternoon and is geared toward families looking to add a new pet, with volunteers on hand to talk about foster and adoption options.

Organizers say the gathering will go on as planned, with room for visitors to stop by, meet the animals, and learn what is required before taking one home.

Sunday morning Coffee Cruisers meet

Car enthusiasts will be meeting up Sunday morning for the monthly Coffee Cruisers gathering in the Harris Teeter parking lot on Kensington Drive. The meet runs from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. and welcomes all makes and models, from daily drivers to show cars.

The organizers keep the event free to attend and emphasize a friendly, family atmosphere. Attendees can expect coffee and donuts, a casual raffle with small prizes, and fundraising for a local community cause.

Primary voting prep for Union County residents

Early voting for the 2026 primary election begins Thursday, February 12, and runs through Saturday, February 28, across Union County. Any registered voter who lives in Waxhaw can vote at any early voting site in the county, rather than a single assigned precinct.

Residents who prefer to vote by mail can request an absentee ballot without providing a special reason. Local officials are encouraging voters to review their registration, confirm their current address, and make sure they have an acceptable photo ID ahead of Election Day on March 3.

Looking ahead

Between community events and election preparations, the next few weeks offer plenty of chances to connect with neighbors and stay engaged in local life. If you are out and about, give yourself extra time around event venues and keep an eye on changing weather conditions.
