This weekend is for the soccer buffs, with both Chattanooga area professional teams playing home games and the Guatemala and El Salvador international teams playing in an international friendly. For the non-sports fans, there’s still plenty to do, including festivals for the Walnut Street Bridge and honeybees and the opening weekends of the Skate Station at the Chattanooga Choo Choo and Riverfront Nights at Ross’s Landing. Here’s the chronology.
