La Paz Chattanooga, a non-profit organization working directly with the Chattanooga area’s Latino population, announced the return of its signature “friendraising” event, Sangria on the Southside, as part of the non-profit’s continued 20th anniversary slate of events. The event will be held on Friday, June 14 from 7-11 p.m. at First Horizon Pavilion, 1826 Reggie White Blvd.
Originally started in 2008 as an annual celebration of Hispanic and Latino culture, Sangria on the Southside has been on hiatus since 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Every year, we’re asked whether Sangria on the Southside is making a comeback, and I am very happy to say this year that yes, it’s happening,” said Stacy Johnson, president and CEO at La Paz Chattanooga.
“It’s a beloved event, honoring the history and heritage of the people we work with, and it has always served as a moment when people from across the entire Chattanooga community intentionally come together to celebrate these cultures.”
The 2024 installment of Sangria on the Southside will include live music, dancing, authentic foods and the “Best Sangria in Chattanooga” contest. Early-bird ticket and table rates can be claimed through April 30. From May 1 onward, tickets and tables will be available at standard purchase rates: early-bird, $85 (individual) and $950 (reserved table for eight plus VIP benefits; standard, $95 (individual) and $1,000 (reserved table for eight + VIP benefits).
