Three big block parties are closing streets in North Chattanooga, Benton, Tenn., and Dayton, Tenn., for community get-togethers this weekend.
* The PTA at Normal Park Museum Magnet School is holding its popular Normal-Palooza street fair Saturday on the campus of the upper school, located at the corner of Mississippi Avenue and Dallas Road.
A portion of Mississippi Avenue will be closed to traffic to make way for 40 artists, 10 food vendors and the couple of thousand visitors who annually attend.
Normal-Palooza’s laid-back ambiance makes this family-friendly event feel like a big party, where you can chat with neighbors, let the kids play in their area while you browse the art and listen to local musicians.
This arts show is different from craft shows in that work by locally and regionally acclaimed artists is sold in media from fine painting to pottery and folk art.
