And a few new things this year . . .
While most band performances will be held on Nightfall’s home stage at Miller Plaza, plans are to also host a few of the shows during the season from the Miller Park stage, just for fun.
Changes this year will include plans for a new street closure that will take the event footprint one block east on M.L.King down to Lindsey Street and close Georgia Avenue on either side of M.L.King. Market Street will not be closed, in order to offer better traffic flow around the event. The new road closure plan will also allow for a slightly earlier event set up time.
Look for local food trucks on M.L.King between Georgia and Lindsey, and local visual artists in and around Miller Park. Applications for both food trucks and art vendors can be found at nightfallchattanooga.com. Motorcycle parking will be allowed in Georgia Avenue, on the block north of M.L.King.
The Chattanooga Football Club’s inflatable soccer field and other children’s games will continue to be offered in Miller Park. There will be roller skating with Dazey Skate Co on Georgia Avenue in front of the post office for the first six weeks of the season, with participants being allowed to bring their own skates or rent skates in children’s and adult sizes on site.
Thanks to the earlier site setup, for the first time a Nightfall Happy Hour will be offered from 5:30-6:30 pm for early arrivers to enjoy weekly drink specials at a discount.
Nightfall will also feature a new cooling machine on site, which is designed to cool down a 2500 sq ft area, cooling Nightfall fans by an average 30 degrees – even on our hottest nights.
