Happy Thursday!

Only in Chattanooga could we go from 80 degrees to a tornado watch to snow all in the same week. The weather has been all over the place, but we are heading into a weekend that looks like a little bit of everything, rain, sunshine, and hopefully some time outside.

And good news, there is a lot happening around the Scenic City.

Let’s get to it!

You’ve got three totally different vibes happening this weekend, and this is easily the biggest one. Finley Stadium (1826 Reggie White Blvd) turns into a full on scene Friday night from 6 to 10 PM and again Saturday from 12 to 6 PM, with custom cars, motorcycles, vintage vendors, food trucks, and live music everywhere.

This isn’t just for car fanatics, there’s something to look at every five seconds, and the energy alone makes it worth going. If you haven’t been before, check it out.

Over on the North Shore, things are a little more snack focused in the best way. Coolidge Park (150 River St) turns into a two day food stop on Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 6 PM, where you show up hungry, grab something random (or three things), maybe a drink, sit by the river, then go back for round two.

It’s easy, low pressure, and one of those events you’ll accidentally spend way more time at than you planned while exploring all the vendors and food options.

If you want something slower (or just less crowded), this is your move. Crabtree Farms (1000 E 30th St) is hosting a free community swap on Saturday from 12:30 to 2:30 PM where people bring plants, trade seeds, and just hang out talking gardening.

I honestly love how the farm is super relaxed and chill. Even if you’re just thinking about getting into gardening this year, this is a really easy way to start by getting involved with the plant swap and community event.

Spring is almost here, and one of the easiest ways to refresh your home is with a professional bed cleanup and fresh mulch.

Our friends at C&C Nurseries and Landscaping can handle everything from clearing out leaves and trimming back plants to redefining bed edges and laying down new mulch. The result is a yard that looks cleaner, brighter, and well cared for.

It’s one of the most affordable upgrades you can make, and it goes a long way toward boosting curb appeal.
