Named one of Holler's "10 Country Artists You Need to Know" and nominated for Chattanooga's Best of the Best Local Band, Bella Lam brings an electrifying live set anchored by her latest single, "Bootfirst," a high-energy anthem that showcases her signature mix of heartfelt storytelling and modern country edge.

Doggie Days of Summer is geared towards senior and disabled dogs, but open to all dogs and their families.

Bring your dogs or kids out for a fun day of sniffs and snacks from browsing our established sniff stations to our All You Can Treat Bar.  There will be something for everyone with our array of local vendors, an onsite adoption / foster event, yummy food trucks, dog personality contests, and some engaging speakers providing a Vet Chatt panel discussion and training demonstrations.

We can't wait to end the Scenic City summer right in the middle of downtown celebrating our local community and their furry best friends!
