Celebrating Independence in ‘Nooga

fireworks under the bridge

How does your family celebrate on the 4th of July? Do you decorate, shoot bottle rockets, eat BBQ, or spend the day on the boat? This year you may want to add the symphony to your list.

The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera will present Pops on the River at Coolidge Park on Thursday, July 3. You can enjoy the free concert and fireworks display, along with a pre-concert flyover from the Hixson Museum of Flight. The concert begins at 8pm, and the park will close to traffic at 4:30pm. Food, beer, and wine concessions will be available, and a fireworks display over the river will follow the concert.

However you celebrate, do it responsibly and have a great holiday!
