You might be able to burn off a couple more calories during your lunch break at Miller Plaza on Wednesdays this summer. That is if you really get into tapping your toe along to the sounds of several local musicians.

Beginning May 4, River City Co. is adding a new series called Noontunes. The free weekly series will feature local musicians performing from noon to 1 p.m. each Wednesday through July 27.

There are several goals related to the series, according to organizers. The first is to showcase local talent, but the series also will entertain downtown workers and visitors. It’s part of a growing commitment to make music a part of why people come to Chattanooga, according to Chattanooga Convention & Visitors Bureau President and CEO Bob Doak.

“We believe music should be just one more reason to come here, but we don’t need it to be limited to just one area,” he says. “We want people to have experiences throughout the city.”
