  • Wednesday, October 18, 2017

The two-week festival RiverRocks will present the Best Town (For)Ever Party on Friday from 6-10 p.m. in the 700 Block of Cherry Street - celebrating what makes Chattanooga great. 

This free public block party will feature music in the street, local food trucks, local brews from OddStory Brewing Company, Pure Southern vodka cocktails and Chattanooga Whiskey (along with non-alcoholic options). There will be street entertainment and acrobatics from Movement Arts Collective, a climbing wall, geo dome, special street lighting and tethered rides offered in a hot air balloon, weather permitting. There will also be a small expo of outdoor outfitters and non-profits.  

Musical entertainment will include Charles Allison’s band “Okinawa” from 6-7 p.m., roots-blues by Jess Goggins from 7:20-8:20 p.m., and Nashville’s funk rock outfit Luthi closing the show from 8:40-10 p.m. 

Chattanooga has won both the Outside Magazine and Toad & Co. “Best town Ever” designation- the only city to ever win that title more than once.  The public is invited to celebrate during this street party that shows why Chattanooga should now be the Best Town (For)Ever, said officials. 

RiverRocks is a two-week festival in October that helps promote Chattanooga as a great outdoor adventure destination through a series of competitions, events and entertainment that promote Chattanooga’s outdoor scene.
