Here’s what the Chattanooga area has to offer this week.

Reserve your tickets

Two hometown favorites — Lauren Alaina of Rossville, Georgia, and HunterGirl of Winchester, Tennessee — will be among the performers when Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry salutes the U.S. military on Tuesday, May 21. The event will include a red-carpet parade and a Salute the Troops performance featuring Opry member Craig Morgan, an Army Reserve warrant officer who will perform with the 313th U.S. Army Band. Lee Brice and Austin Snell are also in the lineup. Active-duty and veteran service members attending the show, as well as their spouses, children and parents, are invited to join a red-carpet parade into the Opry House for the 7 o’clock show. The public is invited to arrive at 5 p.m. CDT to see the 313th U.S. Army Band perform in the Opry Plaza before the parade at 5:45 p.m. (all times are Central). The show will be filmed to air Memorial Day weekend on the Opry Facebook and YouTube channels. Tickets are available at 615-871-OPRY and opry.com.
