Gas up the car.
Maybe you weren’t planning a Fourth of July road trip, but the long holiday weekend provides plenty of reasons to reconsider those plans.
Wherever you look around the region, you can find an abundance of homespun and heartfelt Americana as local citizenry celebrate the USA’s 240th birthday with music, parades, car shows, a poker run, duck race, 5Ks, tables full of ice cream, barbecue and watermelon, and enough fireworks to light up the sky four nights.
Here’s how more than 30 communities in the tri-state will mark the occasion. Yours not listed? Email findit@chattanooganow.com, and we’ll add it online.
