Summers in Chattanooga are great - but for the opposite reason. For a quiet as it was in Clemson, there are tons of things to do in Chattanooga. I still get to play outside, and relax as much as I want, but there are so many more things to do in Chattanooga.
Here's a quick list of what I'm most looking forward to this summer.
- Riverbend - (June 8th-16th) Riverbend is not a secret - some nights there can be over 100,000 people. But I think how good the music can be is a secret, as is the value ($32 for 8 days and 100 bands) I'll do a full list later, but here are the bands I'm most looking forward to: Gov't Mule, Foreigner, Blackberry Smoke, BoomBox, Rebirth Brass Band, Yo Mammas Big Fat Booty Band, Roger Allan Wade & Friends.

- Farmer's Markets - It's Market Season!! I love the Brainerd Farmer's Market, and want to make it to the Sunday Market downtown this year too :) Brainerd Market on Facebook Chattanooga Market on Facebook.
- TN Aquarium's new exhibit - Giant underwater mammals...count me in.Website
- River Rocks - I had a blast at the Hunter Museum laser light show last year, and I would love to go to a few more things this year. One thing I hated to miss: the sculpture burning.
- Chattanooga Lookouts game - One of the things I hate I didn't do last summer was make it to a minor league baseball game. Since Harrison Ford is in town filming a baseball movie at the old stadium, I'm sure I won't be the only one thinking about baseball, but I want to go anyway.
- Outdoor dining - I want to find a good place to eat and drink outside this year. MY patio is awesome, but I want to find someplace else we can hang out too. I'm thinking maybe the rooftop at The Terminal??
- Southern Brewers Festival - (August) This sounds weird coming from the girl who is allergic to hops, but Woodchuck was there last year, and I got to have fun along with everyone else, and it was a blast.
- Ooltewah Nursery - The Ooltewah Nursery is a local nursery that has earned a few national awards. It's not too far from my house, so I'm going to try and take advantage of their knowledge this year.
- Nightfall - Nightfall is the weekly outdoor concert series downtown. The music is good, and it's free. Free fits in my budget :)
Great ideas... I need to do more around town myself!
ReplyDeleteI have had so much fun in Chattanooga this past year. Sunday is the Strawberry Festival at the Chattanooga Market, it runs until 4 if you want to check it out :)
