Welcome Back For MAINx24 in Chattanooga

MAINx24 logo

MAINx24 returns on Saturday to Main Street and the surrounding Southside here in Chattanooga.

The annual 24-hour block party celebration was canceled last year due to the pandemic.

But that was then - and this is now.

Kelly Allen - managing director at Q Strategies - is a MAINx24 volunteer.
