Chattanooga Becomes a National Park City—Everywhere’s a Stage on Make Music Day 2025!

Big news! Chattanooga has just been named the first National Park City in North America—and we couldn’t be more excited! This is a huge milestone for our community, showcasing Chattanooga’s commitment to preserving our natural spaces and making them more accessible for everyone. And just in time for Make Music Day 2025!

At Make Music Chattanooga, we’ve always believed that Everywhere’s a Stage. We’re excited to continue activating the entire city, including our parks. From Lookout Mountain to Coolidge Park and the Tennessee Riverwalk, music has been at the heart of our city’s outdoor spaces for years. This year, we’re thrilled to continue this tradition, with even more performances in our parks, turning them into vibrant, music-filled spaces that unite our community.
