Chattanooga is ready to put on its party shoes! The city is set to host a series of fun, family-friendly events that are sure to entertain everyone. One of the highlights will be the third annual Chattanooga Bike Party, which promises to bring together people of all ages for a fantastic day of biking and socializing through the downtown area.
The Chattanooga Bike Party, launched by Jonny Larosa, has quickly become a beloved community gathering. Whether you’re a biking pro or just someone who loves to ride slowly with the family, this event is all about fun and inclusivity. Picture this: a lively group of locals pedaling through the scenic streets of Chattanooga, sharing laughs, and making memories!
But that’s not all! The Chattanooga Parks & Outdoors Department and Outdoor Chattanooga are gearing up for the second annual Chatt Town Cool Down, which will take place from August 23 to 24, 2024. This event is all about outdoor fun and relaxation, featuring a wealth of *free activities* for the entire family.
The festivities will kick off on Friday evening at 6 p.m. with ChattSkates. Participants can choose to bike, skateboard, or rollerskate right into the Tennessee River, all while enjoying a vibrant foam dance party. Enjoy the upbeat music and let loose!
Another exciting activity happening on Friday is the Black Women Paddle event, which celebrates the H2O Life’s Women on the Water program. Starting at 6 p.m. from Ross’s Landing, participants aged 18 and over will have the chance to paddle along the river with limited equipment available for registration. It’s a fantastic way to connect with nature and fellow paddlers.
And as dusk falls on Friday, grab your popcorn for the Lookout Wild Films, where short films will be screened under the stars at 9 p.m. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a day of action-packed fun!
On Saturday morning, kick off your day with a Paddle Parade at 10 a.m., where participants will paddle down the Tennessee River in costume and compete for the best-decorated watercraft. The parade will cover 5.4 miles, so it’s time to get creative!
Throughout Saturday, from noon to 4 p.m., families can enjoy ongoing activities including a giant foam slide, a bike rodeo, a climbing wall, and even live animal demonstrations. It’s a smorgasbord of excitement!
As the sun sets, the fun doesn’t stop. Saturday evening will feature Riverfront Nights with live music. More activities will be happening at the River Market at the Tennessee Aquarium, open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., making it a full day of enjoyment.
Athletes can expect a rigorous bike course with dedicated lanes and a hefty 4,300 feet of elevation gain—definitely not for the faint of heart! Meanwhile, road closures will be in effect to ensure the safety of every participant.
To celebrate this decade milestone, competitors will receive a special commemorative medal designed by local artist Isaac Duncan III.
Whether you’re a spectator or a participant, you won’t want to miss the swimming segment along the Chattanooga Riverwalk where you can watch athletes as they exit the water at Ross’s Landing Park. Bring your family and cheer for your favorites!
As you can see, Chattanooga is brimming with exciting community events and outdoor fun! Mark your calendars and get ready for a memorable experience.
