Looking for the luck of the Irish? On Saturday, March 14th and Sunday, March 15th from 11 am – 5 pm, visit Rock City’s second annual Irish celebration and festival featuring music, food and lots of fun! “Go green” as visitors enjoy green fudge, Lucky Clover Makeovers, panning for gold, specialty foods, green accessories with crafters and local artists and a green waterfall cascading down Lookout Mountain!

From Celtic, Irish and Scottish music, to guitars, fiddles, percussion, bluegrass and Riverdance-style, bands on site will offer a wide variety with something for everyone! The Molly Maguires, the Chattanooga Pipe Band, the Celtic Plains and OLTA – are all returning from last year, and two new bands - Ealaionta and Slipjig join in the celebration. Come take an Irish jig dance lesson with Jeff Sandy in the pavilion!

Enjoy Irish food – even green kettle corn - and specialty beer by Big River just for this event. And don’t forget to visit Starbucks for a Green Tea Latte, Hot Green Herbal Tea or Green Tea Frappuccino.

Festivities are free with regular Rock City admission! Located only six miles from downtown Chattanooga, Tenn., Rock City is a 14-acre natural and scenic attraction with unique rock formations and gardens atop Lookout Mountain. Over half a million visitors tour Rock City Gardens every year.
