Low sweat, high hang
Walnut Street Bridge grand reopening
Meet at Walnut Street Plaza by 11:45 and we'll be among the first to walk the bridge again.
- When
- Saturday Oct 3, 12:00–3:00 PM (River Market first, from 10 AM, if you like)
- Where
- Walnut Street Plaza, 1 Walnut St, Chattanooga
- What to bring
- Rain jacket, comfortable shoes, water, bug spray; expect crowds and heavy downtown parking, so park away from the riverfront
- Weather
- Roughly a 47% shower chance at noon and storms likely after 2pm. Come for the ceremony, skip the long lingering. Parking, road closures, and a rain plan haven't been confirmed yet.
Why this is easy: Free and flat — a short ceremony, then a walk across the bridge that's been closed since March 2025. Zero gear, easy to find people.
