Chattanooga, it’s time to celebrate our NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!
After making history over the weekend, Chattanooga Football Club is getting its very own CHAMPIONSHIP PARADE, and the entire city is invited!
In case you missed it, the Boys in Blue defeated LAFC 2, one to nothing, Sunday night at Finley Stadium to capture the MLS NEXT Pro Cup, becoming the FIRST professional sports team in Chattanooga history to win a national championship!
And now, Mayor Tim Kelly and the City of Chattanooga are rolling out the celebration!
According to The Chattanooga Pulse, the championship parade is happening THIS FRIDAY, November 13th, beginning at 4:30pm in the afternoon at the south entrance of the Walnut Street Bridge.
The parade will feature the players, coaches, owners, and staff of Chattanooga FC, along with the Chattahooligans, youth soccer leagues, and other members of the CFC community!
The procession will make its way across the Walnut Street Bridge, down Frazier Avenue, and onto Tremont Street, before finishing at the Blue Rhino in Coolidge Park.
And the celebration doesn’t end there!
Around 5:15pm, there will be a special ceremony featuring guest speakers, photo opportunities, and, of course, a presentation of the championship trophy!
Now, this is a WALKING parade, so don’t expect traditional floats. In fact, participants are encouraged to decorate their bikes and strollers!
And here’s one important heads-up: parking around Coolidge Park will be extremely limited because of preparations for the Renaissance Faire, so carpooling is strongly encouraged.
You don’t have to march to be part of the fun, either! Everyone is invited to line the Walnut Street Bridge and cheer on our champions!
