Noontunes on Broad:
Through the ONE Riverfront Plan and Reimagining Broad Street, River City Company unveiled three potential designs for Broad Street. As a test of how one or more of those concepts could work, Noontunes is moving to the Riverfront District, creating a mini-street festival on Fridays in September and October.
Starting on September 8, the weekly concert series will enliven Broad Street with artist vendors, food trucks, live music and themed activities from 11:00am - 1:00pm. The street party will take place from Aquarium Way to High Point Climbing Gym in the 2nd block of Broad Street.
In addition to seeing the concerts in person, shows are later aired on WUTC 88.1FM.
Noontunes is possible through a community partnership of River City Company, Chattanooga Tourism Company, SoundCorps, R.I.S.E. Chattanooga, River City Sessions, City of Chattanooga’s Office of Multicultural Affairs, Gold Finger Productions, TechTown, WUTC and Innovation District Chattanooga. Noontunes has been held since 2016 and features Chattanooga area based musicians. The program has supported 41 musicians and invested $14,000+ in Chattanooga's local music economy along with drawing an in-person crowd of 1,500+ and 15,000+ live stream viewers. 2023 Sponsors include Benwood Foundation, EPB and First Horizon Bank.
