Eastdale Neighborhood Association has partnered with Rise Chattanooga to host the first Eastdale Community Festival. It will take place Saturday, Nov. 5, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., on the grounds of Eastdale Community Center, 1312 Moss St.
Councilwoman Demetrus Coonrod said, "This is a great opportunity to bring our community together through local performers, vendors, family and friends.
We welcome Chattanoogans and surrounding areas to come enjoy fun-filled family activities, good food, laughter, and meet new friends.
“Social cohesion is a basic requirement of healthy communities. Place-based arts and creative place making can help flow social cohesion to encourage community well-being.”
Jessi Igou, secretary of the Eastdale Neighborhood Association, said, “It’s wonderful to see such vibrancy within our community and to bring everyone together to celebrate through music, food and the arts. The Eastdale Neighborhood Association is a place with open doors to ensure the community have access to the services they need to enjoy what Chattanooga has to offer.”
“Having the opportunity to host an eclectic mix of arts within the community only strengthens our neighborhood,” said Shane Morrow, founder of Rise Chattanooga.
