(Aired Thu 10/09/25)

This weekend in Chattanooga’s Highland Park, the porches are the stages and the yards are the seats.

That’s where the fourth annual Highland Park Porchfest - a free music festival - takes place on Saturday.

Maggie Carruth O’Connor is the founder of Third Place Productions, the nonprofit that produces Saturday’s Porchfest - and TEDxChattanooga, which returns next month with a conference at the Walker Theatre on Wednesday, November 19th.
