Chattanooga’s End-of-Summer Riverside CelebrationAre you ready to fall in love with the great outdoors? Join us for a day of exploration, fun, and escape the summer heat and splash into refreshing and relaxing fun at the Chatt Town Cool Down Festival at Coolidge Park! (FULL SCHEDULE BELOW)
Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or just starting to dip your toes into the world of outdoor activities, this event is perfect for you. We’re offering a variety of free activities to help you embrace nature and build confidence in your outdoor adventures. In other words, there will be lots of opportunities for you to get your feet wet, no matter your experience level. A foam slide, a cold plunge, climbing, slacklines, water games, disc golf, and the infamous Paddle Down Parade, this weekend is built for family friendly fun.
Paddle Down is a recreational paddling parade on the Tennessee River, running from Rivermont Park to Coolidge Park. The 4-mile event encourages participants to bring their own kayaks, canoes, or SUPs, with costume-wearing highly encouraged. Prizes will be awarded for the most creative paddler and craft. Free shuttles will be available from 8:30-9:30 a.m. to assist with parking. The parade launches at 10 a.m. and lasts approximately 2-3 hours. Participants will exit at the Coolidge Park Canoe Launch, where a boat valet will be available until 3 p.m.
