For almost 100 years Rock City has remained one of the South’s most popular natural attractions with its Southern gardens carved out of ancient rock formations, its Mother Goose Village and Fairyland Caverns created by founder Frieda Carter who was enchanted by European folklore, Lover’s Leap and “See Seven States” panoramic views.
This year, Rock City debuted its “Rock City Seasons,” themed seasons each featuring celebrations, performances, activities, photo opportunities and more.
Remaining 2024 Rock City Seasons include Fall Colors, Sept. 14-Nov. 8 and HoliDAYS, the daytime complement to the nightly Enchanted Garden of Lights, Nov. 22-Jan. 4.
Fall Colors, Sept. 14-Nov. 8
The Chattanooga Valley foliage, pumpkins, hay bales, seasonal decorations and cool brisk weather are part of autumn’s lure. Banjo musician Matt Downer will be on hand for musical accompaniment.
HoliDAYS, Nov. 22-Jan. 4
For years during the holidays, visitors have flocked to Rock City for its Enchanted Garden of Lights, which celebrates 30 years in 2024. More than two million lights decorate the gardens and rock formations of Rock City. The Enchanted Garden of Lights continues in the evenings but HoliDAYS with its festive natural decorations will be its daytime complement.
