July 4th events Chattanooga 2014

If you want to see public fireworks in Chattanooga this year, you have 2 choices:

• July 3rd from 8-10PM---Pops on the River at Coolidge Park.  This is a free event where the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera Orchestra will play a combination of patriotic and traditional tunes by the river, followed by fireworks.    People are encouraged to bring blankets and lawnchairs and either pack a picnic basket, or enjoy food from concessions.
• July 4--night--LakeWinnepesaukah Amusement Park--Enjoy a full day of rides, miniature golf and fireworks.

Or, like me, you may prefer to go to parties at friends' houses and watch private fireworks displays.   Whichever you decide, be safe!
