Mainx24: A Full Day of Southside Delight Thursday, October 30, 2008
Mainx24, an annual event celebrating wintry climes and creative endeavor, gives Chattanoogans the opportunity to live fancy-free with 24-hours of Main Street frolic. A day for showcasing and sharing, planned by locals.
This year’s event, kicking-off at 8 am on December 6, features a Southside gallery hop; a sampling of Middle-Eastern cuisine among Persian rugs; a Chattanooga tree lighting; a chance for a heart-to-heart with Santa; and several demonstrations by local artists. There’s a bicycle scavenger hunt, an open-house at the Battle Academy, and a fashion-show at the ChooChoo featuring local couture.
24-hours of cheer later, a night of Main Streeting—which includes a Habitat for Humanity benefit, midnight storytelling, and an after party in the wee hours—ends with mimosas and eggs benedict.
In 2007, CreateHere spearheaded this event, working cooperatively with businesses and artists to provide a day full of food and fun. This year, the neighborhood is taking the reigns, making the entertainment, bites, and available wares a true reflection of the Southside’s greatest asset: its people.
A complete schedule and list of participants will be available at mainx24.com on Tuesday, November 4, 2008.
