The Save-A-Lot grand opening block party and mural unveiling is set for Sunday from 12-4 p.m.
There will be live music from Soundcorps, featuring artists Marcus Ellsworth, 2 Deepwithin, Tyler Andrew, Arche Twitty, Erika Roberts, and Karla Felecia Scaife throughout the event.
Comments from elected officials will be at 1:30 p.m.
Roller skate rentals will be available from Moonlight Roller, available for anyone 18+ free of charge (and if you’re already a skater, bring your own to cruise on the freshly painted mural).
Food trucks, vendors and family-friendly activities will be organized by the team at Save-A-Lot.
The mural is designed by artist Kevin Bate with input and engagement from the community, supported by 2$ON as his lead on-site assistant. A new community piece and a new temporary community space, all designed by a team of East Chattanooga residents, artists, design professionals and business leaders (aka Gathering Spaces and Homebase Team) will also be unveiled. The space is full of creative kid's activities, seating, planters, shade, and lighting.
Hardy Elementary has also been involved in the project.
