Noontunes is an eight-week, free concert series in the park presented by River City Co. It is designed to support Chattanooga's music economy while providing entertainment for the downtown workforce.
Noontunes will be held in Miller Park each Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Nov. 1, with music beginning at noon. Food trucks will be on-site.
Each live performance includes a host, who will discuss the artist's background and song selections, providing insight not usually gathered from a standard show.
"Noontunes returns this fall to highlight Chattanooga's impressive local music talent and provide a fun, lunchtime experience in Miller Park," says Meagan Shinn, program director at River City Co.
"We continue to be grateful to have so many community partners come together to support this music series that is entirely composed of local artists."
Each performance will be live streamed by TechTown on the Chattanooga Fun Facebook page operated by the Chattanooga Convention & Visitors Bureau. The performances will also air on WUTC.
