A St. Patrick’s Day celebration is planned for the new gardens at the Chattanooga Choo Choo complex Saturday, and organizers are ready to show off the updated space and new businesses opening in the area.
Music begins at 2 p.m. and ends at 11 p.m. and includes several Irish bands such as The Highland Pipe and Drum Band. The event is family-friendly and kicks off a season of events at the public space’s new turf lawn and performance stage.
Bill Lee, who owns Gate 11 Distillery at the Choo Choo complex, plays guitar and sings in an Irish band called the Red Rovers that’s playing Saturday.
“We’re trying to capture that Irish magic at the Choo Choo this year,” he said. “We want to be the most authentic celebration in town.”
